We divide 272665 by 85
We want to divide 272665 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 85

Step 2:
85 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 85

On to step 3:
272 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 255 from 272.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
176 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 170 from 176 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 66 / 85

Step 5:
The number 85 fits into 66 0 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 320.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 0 from 66.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 665 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 665 7 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3207.0
If we subtract 595 from 665, we 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 7:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3207.8
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
200 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3207.82
If we take 170 away from 200, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 300 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3207.823
Subtracting 255 from 300 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3207.8235
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3207.82352
Subtract 170 from 250 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3207.823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up 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 13:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3207.8235294
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.

Moving on to step 14:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3207.82352941
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3207.82352941 with a remaining 1.5e-08.
