We're dividing 401551 by 84 
We're looking to find how many times 84 goes into 401551.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 84

Moving on to step 2:
The number 84 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 401 / 84

Let's proceed to step 3:
84 can be fit into 401 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 336 from 401 to get 65.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 655 / 84

On to step 4:
655 divided by 84 is 7 with a remainder of 67.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 588 from 655.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 675 / 84

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 675 by 84, we get 8 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 478.0
Subtract 672 from 675 to get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 84

Step 6:
84 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4780.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
310 divided by 84 is 3 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4780.3
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 252 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
84 goes into 580 6 times with a remainder of 76.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4780.36
If we subtract 504 from 580, we 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.

Step 9:
84 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4780.369
If we take 756 away from 760, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
40 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4780.369
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4780.36904
Deduct 336 from 400 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
640 divided by 84 is 7 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4780.369047
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 13:
The number 84 fits into 520 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4780.3690476
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.

Step 14:
The number 84 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4780.36904761
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.

Our division results in 4780.36904761 with a remaining 7.6e-08.
