We're dividing 248842 by 84 
Our goal is to divide 248842 by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 84

Moving on to step 2:
84 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 84

On to step 3:
If we divide 248 by 84, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 168 away from 248, we end up with 80.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 80 and continue with: 808 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 84 fits into 808 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 756 from 808 to get 52.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 524 / 84

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 524 by 84, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 296.0
If we take 504 away from 524, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 202 / 84

Moving on to step 6:
202 divided by 84 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2962.0
If we take 168 away from 202, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
84 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2962.4
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
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 8:
If we divide 40 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2962.4
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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 9:
84 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2962.404
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 10:
84 can be fit into 640 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2962.4047
If we subtract 588 from 640, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
84 goes into 520 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2962.40476
If we take 504 away from 520, 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 12:
160 divided by 84 is 1 with a remainder of 76.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2962.404761
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 84 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
84 can be fit into 760 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2962.4047619
Deduct 756 from 760 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 84 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2962.4047619
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

The final outcome is 2962.4047619, with a leftover of 4e-08.
