We divide 227744 by 85
We want to divide 227744 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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 (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 227 / 85

On to step 3:
85 can be fit into 227 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 170 from 227 to get 57.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 577 / 85

On to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 577 6 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 510 from 577.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 674 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
85 can be fit into 674 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 267.0
Subtract 595 from 674 to get 79.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 79 and repeat the process: 794 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 794 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2679.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 765 from 794.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
85 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2679.3
Subtracting 255 from 290 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 8:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2679.34
Subtract 340 from 350 to get 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 9:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2679.341
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
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 10:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2679.3411
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.

After the division, we end up with 2679.3411 and a remainder of 0.00065.
