We're dividing 271552 by 84 
We want to divide 271552 by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 84

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 271 / 84

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 271 by 84, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 252 from 271 and we're left with 19.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 195 / 84

On to step 4:
If we divide 195 by 84, we get 2 and a remainder of 27.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 168 from 195 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 275 / 84

Let's proceed to step 5:
275 divided by 84 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 323.0
If we subtract 252 from 275, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 84

Moving on to step 6:
84 can be fit into 232 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3232.0
If we take 168 away from 232, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
640 divided by 84 is 7 with a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3232.7
If we take 588 away from 640, we end up 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 8:
84 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3232.76
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.

Advancing to step 9:
160 divided by 84 is 1 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3232.761
If we subtract 84 from 160, we 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 10:
The number 84 fits into 760 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3232.7619
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.

Moving on to step 11:
84 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3232.7619
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
84 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3232.761904
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 336 from 400.
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:
If we divide 640 by 84, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3232.7619047
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 520 by 84, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3232.76190476
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3232.76190476 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
