342046 ÷ 84 
Our goal is to divide 342046 by 84.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 84

On to step 2:
The number 84 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 0 from 34.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 342 / 84

On to step 3:
342 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 336 from 342, we get 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 84

On to step 4:
When dividing 60 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 604 / 84

On to step 5:
84 goes into 604 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 407.0
If we take 588 away from 604, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 84

On to step 6:
The number 84 fits into 166 1 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4071.0
If we take 84 away from 166, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 820 by 84, we get 9 with a remainder of 64.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4071.9
Subtracting 756 from 820 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 640 by 84, we get 7 with a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4071.97
Deduct 588 from 640 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
84 goes into 520 6 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4071.976
Subtract 504 from 520 to 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.

On to step 10:
84 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4071.9761
Deduct 84 from 160 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 84 fits into 760 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4071.97619
If we subtract 756 from 760, we get 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 12:
The number 84 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4071.97619
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 84 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4071.9761904
Subtract 336 from 400 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 640 by 84, we get 7 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4071.97619047
Subtract 588 from 640 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4071.97619047 with a balance of 5.2e-08.
