We look at the division of 149888 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 149888 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
149 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 64.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 85 from 149, we get 64.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 648 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 648 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 595 from 648, we get 53.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 538 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
538 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we subtract 510 from 538, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 85

On to step 6:
288 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1763.0
If we subtract 255 from 288, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
330 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 75.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1763.3
Deduct 255 from 330 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1763.38
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1763.388
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.

The quotient of the division is 1763.388, and the remainder is 0.002.
