Let's divide 280 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 280 can be divided by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 85

Step 2:
85 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 280 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 280 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 255 away from 280, 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.

On to step 4:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.2
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 5:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.29
Subtract 765 from 800 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.294
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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.2941
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.29411
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 3.29411, and the remainder is 6.5e-05.
