Let's divide 211217 by 84
We want to figure out the number of times 211217 can be divided by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 84

Let's proceed to step 2:
84 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 211 / 84

Step 3:
84 goes into 211 2 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 168 from 211, we get 43.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 432 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
84 goes into 432 5 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 420 from 432.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 84

On to step 5:
84 goes into 121 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 251.0
Subtracting 84 from 121 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 377 / 84

Step 6:
When dividing 377 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 41.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2514.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 336 from 377.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 7:
410 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 74.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2514.4
Subtracting 336 from 410 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 84 fits into 740 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2514.48
Subtract 672 from 740 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 680 by 84, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2514.488
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.

The final outcome is 2514.488, with a leftover of 0.0008.
