Let's divide 878728 by 84
We want to figure out the number of times 878728 can be divided by 84.

Moving on to step 1:
84 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 84

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 84, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 84 from 87.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 84

Moving on to step 3:
84 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 387 / 84

Step 4:
387 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 104.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 336 from 387.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 512 / 84

Step 5:
84 can be fit into 512 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1046.0
Deduct 504 from 512 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 84

Step 6:
84 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10461.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 84 from 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10461.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
400 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10461.04
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 336 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
640 divided by 84 is 7 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10461.047
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 588 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
520 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10461.0476
If we subtract 504 from 520, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
84 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 76.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10461.04761
If we subtract 84 from 160, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 760 by 84, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10461.047619
Subtracting 756 from 760 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
40 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10461.047619
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
84 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10461.04761904
Deduct 336 from 400 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10461.04761904 with a balance of 6.4e-08.
