We're dividing 404579 by 84 
We want to divide 404579 by 84.

On to step 1:
The number 84 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 84

Advancing to step 2:
84 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 404 / 84

Step 3:
When dividing 404 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 336 from 404 to get 68.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 685 / 84

On to step 4:
685 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 13.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 672 from 685 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 137 / 84

Let's proceed to step 5:
84 goes into 137 1 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 481.0
Deduct 84 from 137 and we're left with 53.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 539 / 84

Let's proceed to step 6:
539 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 35.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4816.0
If we subtract 504 from 539, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
84 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4816.4
If we subtract 336 from 350, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
84 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4816.41
Subtract 84 from 140 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 560 by 84, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4816.416
Subtracting 504 from 560 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
84 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4816.4166
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4816.4166 with a remaining 0.00056.
