We look at the division of 287699 by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 287699 can be divided by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 287 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 255 away from 287, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 326 / 85

Step 4:
When dividing 326 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 71.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 255 from 326 leaves us with 71.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 719 / 85

Step 5:
85 can be fit into 719 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 338.0
Subtract 680 from 719 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 399 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 399 4 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3384.0
If we subtract 340 from 399, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
85 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 80.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3384.6
If we subtract 510 from 590, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3384.69
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3384.694
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3384.6941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
85 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3384.69411
If we take 85 away from 150, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3384.69411 with a balance of 6.5e-05.
