Let's divide 271962 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 271962.

Advancing to step 1:
85 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 271 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 271 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 255 from 271, we get 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 85

Step 4:
85 goes into 169 1 times with a remainder of 84.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 85 from 169, we get 84.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 846 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
846 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 319.0
Subtracting 765 from 846 leaves us with 81.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 81 and continue: 812 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 812 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3199.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 765 from 812.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 470 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3199.5
Subtracting 425 from 470 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 450 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3199.55
If we take 425 away from 450, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3199.55 with a remaining 0.025.
