Let's divide 259307 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 259307.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 259 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 255 away from 259, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 goes into 43 0 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 0 from 43.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 430 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 305.0
Subtracting 425 from 430 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
57 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 57.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3050.0
Subtracting 0 from 57 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
85 goes into 570 6 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3050.6
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 510 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
85 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3050.67
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.

Step 9:
50 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3050.67
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3050.6705
If we subtract 425 from 500, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3050.67058
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3050.670588
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.

The final result is 3050.670588 with a remainder of 2e-06.
