17976 ÷ 84 
We want to figure out the number of times 17976 can be divided by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 84 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 84

On to step 2:
The number 84 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
The number 84 fits into 179 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 168 from 179 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 84

On to step 4:
The number 84 fits into 117 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 84 from 117.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 336 / 84

Step 5:
336 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214.0
Subtract 336 from 336 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 0 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
0 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 214.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
