242866 ÷ 84 
Let's see how many times 84 fits into 242866.

Let's proceed to step 1:
84 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 84

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 84 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 84

Moving on to step 3:
84 can be fit into 242 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 168 away from 242, we end up with 74.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 748 / 84

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 748 by 84, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 672 from 748 leaves us with 76.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 766 / 84

On to step 5:
If we divide 766 by 84, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 289.0
If we take 756 away from 766, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 106 / 84

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 106 by 84, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2891.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 84 from 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 84, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2891.2
If we subtract 168 from 220, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
520 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2891.26
Subtract 504 from 520 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 160 by 84, we get 1 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2891.261
Subtracting 84 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 760 by 84, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2891.2619
Subtract 756 from 760 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 40 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2891.2619
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
400 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2891.261904
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
640 divided by 84 is 7 with a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2891.2619047
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 588 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 520 by 84, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2891.26190476
Subtract 504 from 520 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2891.26190476, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
