217685 divided by 75 
We want to divide 217685 by 75.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 75 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 75

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 75, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 75

Moving on to step 3:
75 can be fit into 217 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 150 from 217 and we're left with 67.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 676 / 75

Step 4:
75 goes into 676 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 675 from 676 to get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 75

Step 5:
If we divide 18 by 75, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 290.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 185 / 75

Moving on to step 6:
75 can be fit into 185 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2902.0
If we take 150 away from 185, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
350 divided by 75 is 4 with a remainder of 50.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2902.4
Subtracting 300 from 350 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
500 divided by 75 is 6 with a remainder of 50.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2902.46
Deduct 450 from 500 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
75 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2902.466
Subtract 450 from 500 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final result is 2902.466 with a remainder of 0.005.
