We're dividing 221784 by 84 
Our goal is to divide 221784 by 84.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 84

On to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
84 can be fit into 221 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 168 from 221 leaves us with 53.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 537 / 84

Let's proceed to step 4:
84 can be fit into 537 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 504 from 537 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 84

On to step 5:
338 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 264.0
Subtract 336 from 338 to get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 84

Advancing to step 6:
24 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2640.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 84, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2640.2
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 168 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 720 by 84, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2640.28
Subtracting 672 from 720 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
480 divided by 84 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2640.285
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 420 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
84 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2640.2857
If we subtract 588 from 600, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 84 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2640.28571
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 360 by 84, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2640.285714
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
240 divided by 84 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2640.2857142
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 168 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 84 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2640.28571428
If we take 672 away from 720, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2640.28571428, with a leftover of 4.8e-08.
