We're dividing 261087 by 84 
We want to figure out the number of times 261087 can be divided by 84.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 84

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 261 / 84

On to step 3:
If we divide 261 by 84, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 252 from 261.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 84

Step 4:
84 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 84 from 90, we get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 84

Step 5:
If we divide 68 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 310.0
Subtract 0 from 68 to get 68.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 687 / 84

Moving on to step 6:
The number 84 fits into 687 8 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3108.0
If we subtract 672 from 687, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 84, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3108.1
Subtracting 84 from 150 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
84 can be fit into 660 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3108.17
If we subtract 588 from 660, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
720 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3108.178
Deduct 672 from 720 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 84 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3108.1785
Deduct 420 from 480 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
84 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3108.17857
Deduct 588 from 600 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
84 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3108.178571
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
84 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3108.1785714
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
84 goes into 240 2 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3108.17857142
If we subtract 168 from 240, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3108.17857142 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
