Let's divide 478948 by 84
We want to figure out the number of times 478948 can be divided by 84.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 84

Step 2:
When dividing 47 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
84 can be fit into 478 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 420 away from 478, we end up with 58.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 589 / 84

Step 4:
84 goes into 589 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 588 away from 589, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 84

Let's proceed to step 5:
14 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 570.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 84

Let's proceed to step 6:
84 can be fit into 148 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5701.0
Subtract 84 from 148 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 640 by 84, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5701.7
If we take 588 away from 640, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
84 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5701.76
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 84, we get 1 with a remainder of 76.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5701.761
Subtract 84 from 160 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
84 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5701.7619
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.

On to step 11:
84 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5701.7619
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5701.761904
If we take 336 away from 400, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 84 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5701.7619047
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.

Advancing to step 14:
520 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5701.76190476
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.

The final result is 5701.76190476 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
