We divide 138573 by 84
We want to divide 138573 by 84.

On to step 1:
84 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 84

Step 2:
13 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 13 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
84 can be fit into 138 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 84 from 138.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 545 / 84

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 545 by 84, we get 6 and a remainder of 41.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 504 from 545 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 417 / 84

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 84 fits into 417 4 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we take 336 away from 417, we end up with 81.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 81 and continue with: 813 / 84

Moving on to step 6:
84 can be fit into 813 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1649.0
Subtracting 756 from 813 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
570 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1649.6
If we subtract 504 from 570, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
84 goes into 660 7 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1649.67
Subtract 588 from 660 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
84 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1649.678
If we subtract 672 from 720, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
480 divided by 84 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1649.6785
If we take 420 away from 480, we end up with 60.
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 11:
The number 84 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1649.67857
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 588 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 120 by 84, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1649.678571
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 360 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1649.6785714
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up 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 14:
The number 84 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1649.67857142
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.

The final result is 1649.67857142 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
