Let's divide 298462 by 84
We want to divide 298462 by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 84

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 84

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 84 fits into 298 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 252 from 298 leaves us with 46.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 464 / 84

Moving on to step 4:
464 divided by 84 is 5 with a remainder of 44.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 420 from 464.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 446 / 84

Let's proceed to step 5:
446 divided by 84 is 5 with a remainder of 26.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 355.0
Subtract 420 from 446 to get 26.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 262 / 84

On to step 6:
The number 84 fits into 262 3 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3553.0
Subtract 252 from 262 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
84 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3553.1
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
84 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 76.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3553.11
If we take 84 away from 160, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3553.11, and the remainder is 0.076.
