We divide 142624 by 84
We want to divide 142624 by 84.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 84

Let's proceed to step 2:
84 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 142 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
84 goes into 142 1 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 84 from 142 leaves us with 58.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 586 / 84

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 586 by 84, we get 6 and a remainder of 82.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 504 from 586, we get 82.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 82 and continue with: 822 / 84

Going ahead to step 5:
822 divided by 84 is 9 with a remainder of 66.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169.0
Subtracting 756 from 822 leaves us with 66.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 664 / 84

On to step 6:
84 can be fit into 664 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1697.0
Deduct 588 from 664 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 760 by 84, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1697.9
Subtracting 756 from 760 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1697.9
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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 9:
84 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1697.904
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.

Step 10:
84 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1697.9047
Subtracting 588 from 640 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
84 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1697.90476
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
84 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1697.904761
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.

Moving on to step 13:
84 can be fit into 760 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1697.9047619
Deduct 756 from 760 and we're left 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 14:
The number 84 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1697.9047619
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Our division results in 1697.9047619 with a remaining 4e-08.
