36878 divided by 84 
We want to divide 36878 by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
84 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 84

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 36 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 36 leaves us with 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 368 / 84

On to step 3:
The number 84 fits into 368 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 336 from 368 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 84

Advancing to step 4:
84 goes into 327 3 times with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 252 from 327.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 758 / 84

Let's proceed to step 5:
84 can be fit into 758 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 439.0
If we take 756 away from 758, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
84 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 439.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
84 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 439.02
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
84 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 439.023
If we subtract 252 from 320, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 9:
680 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 439.0238
Subtracting 672 from 680 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 439.0238
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
800 divided by 84 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 439.023809
Subtracting 756 from 800 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 440 by 84, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 439.0238095
If we subtract 420 from 440, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 84 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 439.02380952
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 439.02380952 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
