Let's divide 501771 by 84
Let's see how many times 84 fits into 501771.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 84

Let's proceed to step 2:
84 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 501 / 84

Step 3:
84 can be fit into 501 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 420 from 501 to get 81.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 81 and repeat the process: 817 / 84

On to step 4:
817 divided by 84 is 9 with a remainder of 61.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtract 756 from 817 to get 61.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 617 / 84

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 617 by 84, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 597.0
Deduct 588 from 617 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 291 / 84

Step 6:
When dividing 291 by 84, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5973.0
If we subtract 252 from 291, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 390 by 84, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5973.4
Subtract 336 from 390 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
540 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5973.46
Deduct 504 from 540 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.

Step 9:
The number 84 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5973.464
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.

On to step 10:
84 goes into 240 2 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5973.4642
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 168 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
84 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5973.46428
If we take 672 away from 720, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5973.464285
If we take 420 away from 480, we end up 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 13:
The number 84 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5973.4642857
Subtract 588 from 600 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
84 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5973.46428571
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.

The quotient of the division is 5973.46428571, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
