257004 ÷ 85 
We want to divide 257004 by 85.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 85

On to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 257 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 255 away from 257, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 200 / 85

On to step 5:
200 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 302.0
If we take 170 away from 200, we end up with 30.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 304 / 85

On to step 6:
304 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3023.0
If we subtract 255 from 304, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
490 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3023.5
If we take 425 away from 490, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
85 can be fit into 650 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3023.57
If we take 595 away from 650, we end up with 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.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3023.576
Subtracting 510 from 550 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3023.5764
Subtracting 340 from 400 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3023.57647
Subtracting 595 from 600 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3023.57647
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3023.5764705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3023.57647058
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3023.57647058, and the remainder is 7e-08.
