We're dividing 493946 by 84 
We want to divide 493946 by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 84

Step 2:
84 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 493 / 84

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 493 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 420 from 493, we get 73.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 739 / 84

On to step 4:
When dividing 739 by 84, we get 8 with a remainder of 67.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
Deduct 672 from 739 and we're left with 67.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 674 / 84

Step 5:
The number 84 fits into 674 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 588.0
Deduct 672 from 674 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 84

Step 6:
When dividing 26 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5880.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
84 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5880.3
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
80 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5880.3
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 84 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5880.309
If we subtract 756 from 800, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 5880.3095
If we take 420 away from 440, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 84 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5880.30952
Subtract 168 from 200 to 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.

On to step 12:
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: 5880.309523
Subtracting 252 from 320 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
680 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5880.3095238
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5880.3095238
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up 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.

The final result is 5880.3095238 with a remainder of 8e-08.
