46988 ÷ 84 
Let's see how many times 84 fits into 46988.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 84

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 469 / 84

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 469 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 49.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 420 away from 469, we end up with 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 498 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
84 goes into 498 5 times with a remainder of 78.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtracting 420 from 498 leaves us with 78.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 788 / 84

On to step 5:
84 goes into 788 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 559.0
Subtract 756 from 788 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 320 by 84, we get 3 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 559.3
If we subtract 252 from 320, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
84 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 559.38
Subtract 672 from 680 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 559.38
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 800 by 84, we get 9 with a remainder of 44.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 559.3809
If we take 756 away from 800, 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.

Step 10:
The number 84 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 559.38095
Deduct 420 from 440 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
84 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 559.380952
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 84 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 559.3809523
If we take 252 away from 320, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
680 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 559.38095238
Subtracting 672 from 680 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 559.38095238 and a remainder of 8e-09.
