Let's divide 278153 by 84
We want to figure out the number of times 278153 can be divided by 84.

Step 1:
The number 84 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 84

Let's proceed to step 2:
84 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 84

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 84, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 252 from 278 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 84

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 261 by 84, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 252 from 261 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 84

Going ahead to step 5:
84 goes into 95 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 331.0
If we subtract 84 from 95, we get 11.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 113 / 84

Moving on to step 6:
113 divided by 84 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3311.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 84 from 113.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 84, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3311.3
Deduct 252 from 290 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
380 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3311.34
If we take 336 away from 380, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 84, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3311.345
Subtract 420 from 440 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 84, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3311.3452
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 84 is 3 with a remainder of 68.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3311.34523
Deduct 252 from 320 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
84 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3311.345238
If we take 672 away from 680, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
80 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3311.345238
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 800 by 84, we get 9 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3311.34523809
Deduct 756 from 800 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 3311.34523809 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
