We look at the division of 240718 by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 240718 can be divided by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 85

Step 2:
24 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 240 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 170 away from 240, we end up with 70.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 707 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 707 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 27.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 680 from 707, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 271 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 271 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 283.0
Subtracting 255 from 271 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 85

Step 6:
85 goes into 168 1 times with a remainder of 83.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2831.0
Deduct 85 from 168 and we're left with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Step 7:
85 can be fit into 830 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2831.9
Subtract 765 from 830 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
650 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 55.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2831.97
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
550 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2831.976
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
85 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2831.9764
Deduct 340 from 400 and we're left 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:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2831.97647
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2831.97647
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:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2831.9764705
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.

On to step 14:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2831.97647058
Subtract 680 from 750 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 2831.97647058, and the remainder is 7e-08.
