Let's divide 280064 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 280064.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 85

On to step 2:
85 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 280 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 255 away from 280, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 250 / 85

Step 4:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 170 from 250 to get 80.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 80 and continue with: 806 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 806 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 329.0
If we subtract 765 from 806, we get 41.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 414 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
414 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3294.0
Deduct 340 from 414 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 7:
85 can be fit into 740 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3294.8
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 680 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3294.87
Subtracting 595 from 600 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3294.87
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3294.8705
Deduct 425 from 500 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3294.87058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3294.870588
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 3294.870588 and a remainder of 2e-06.
