We divide 293989 by 85
Our goal is to divide 293989 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
29 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 293 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 293 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 255 away from 293, we end up with 38.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 389 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 389 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 49.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 340 from 389.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 498 / 85

On to step 5:
When dividing 498 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 73.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 345.0
Deduct 425 from 498 and we're left with 73.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 739 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 goes into 739 8 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3458.0
Deduct 680 from 739 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 80.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3458.6
Subtracting 510 from 590 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3458.69
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 765 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3458.694
If we subtract 340 from 350, we 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.

Step 10:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3458.6941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3458.69411
Subtract 85 from 150 to get 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 3458.69411, and the remainder is 6.5e-05.
