742396 ÷ 84 
Our goal is to divide 742396 by 84.

Going ahead to step 1:
84 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 84

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 74 leaves us with 74.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 742 / 84

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 742 by 84, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 672 from 742 and we're left with 70.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 703 / 84

Moving on to step 4:
84 goes into 703 8 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
If we take 672 away from 703, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 319 / 84

Moving on to step 5:
84 can be fit into 319 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 883.0
If we take 252 away from 319, we end up with 67.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 676 / 84

Step 6:
If we divide 676 by 84, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8838.0
If we subtract 672 from 676, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8838.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 400 by 84, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8838.04
Subtract 336 from 400 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 84 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8838.047
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 588 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 84 fits into 520 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8838.0476
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 84 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8838.04761
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 84 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
760 divided by 84 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8838.047619
Subtracting 756 from 760 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8838.047619
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8838.04761904
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 336 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8838.04761904 with a balance of 6.4e-08.
