We divide 257513 by 85
We want to divide 257513 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 85

On to step 3:
When dividing 257 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 255 from 257, we get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 25 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 251 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 251 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 81.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 302.0
If we take 170 away from 251, we end up with 81.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 81 and repeat the process: 813 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 813 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3029.0
Subtracting 765 from 813 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
85 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3029.5
Subtract 425 from 480 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.

Step 8:
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: 3029.56
If we take 510 away from 550, we end up 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 9:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3029.564
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3029.5647
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 595 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3029.5647
If we subtract 0 from 50, we 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.

On to step 12:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3029.564705
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.

On to step 13:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3029.5647058
Subtracting 680 from 750 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3029.56470588
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3029.56470588 with a remaining 2e-08.
