We divide 716981 by 84
We want to divide 716981 by 84.

On to step 1:
84 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 84

On to step 2:
71 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 71, we end up with 71.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 716 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
84 goes into 716 8 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 672 away from 716, we end up with 44.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 449 / 84

On to step 4:
When dividing 449 by 84, we get 5 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtracting 420 from 449 leaves us with 29.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 84

Step 5:
84 can be fit into 298 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 853.0
Subtracting 252 from 298 leaves us with 46.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 461 / 84

Going ahead to step 6:
84 can be fit into 461 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8535.0
If we subtract 420 from 461, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
410 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 74.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8535.4
Subtract 336 from 410 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
84 goes into 740 8 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8535.48
Subtract 672 from 740 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 680 by 84, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8535.488
If we subtract 672 from 680, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8535.488 with a remaining 0.0008.
