Let's divide 253189 by 85
We want to divide 253189 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
85 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 253 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 253 2 times with a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 170 from 253, we get 83.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 83, then repeat: 831 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 831 9 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 765 away from 831, we end up with 66.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 668 / 85

On to step 5:
If we divide 668 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 73.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 297.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 595 from 668.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 739 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
739 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2978.0
If we take 680 away from 739, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 590 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2978.6
Subtracting 510 from 590 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2978.69
If we take 765 away from 800, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2978.694
If we take 340 away from 350, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2978.6941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2978.69411
Deduct 85 from 150 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final result is 2978.69411 with a remainder of 6.5e-05.
