We divide 306899 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 306899.

On to step 1:
85 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 306 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 306 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 255 away from 306, we end up with 51.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 518 / 85

On to step 4:
If we divide 518 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Deduct 510 from 518 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 85

Step 5:
89 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 361.0
If we subtract 85 from 89, we get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 85

On to step 6:
85 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3610.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3610.5
Deduct 425 from 490 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
650 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3610.57
Subtract 595 from 650 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 550 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3610.576
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 510 from 550.
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 10:
When dividing 400 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3610.5764
If we take 340 away from 400, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
85 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3610.57647
If we take 595 away from 600, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3610.57647
Subtracting 0 from 50 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3610.5764705
Subtract 425 from 500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3610.57647058
If we subtract 680 from 750, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3610.57647058 and a remainder of 7e-08.
