We divide 154217 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 154217.

On to step 1:
85 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 can be fit into 154 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 85 away from 154, we end up with 69.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 692 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 can be fit into 692 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 680 from 692, we get 12.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 121 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 121 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we take 85 away from 121, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 367 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 367 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1814.0
Subtract 340 from 367 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1814.3
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 255 from 270.
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 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1814.31
If we take 85 away from 150, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
85 goes into 650 7 times with a remainder of 55.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1814.317
Subtracting 595 from 650 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 550 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1814.3176
If we take 510 away from 550, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
85 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1814.31764
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 340 from 400.
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 12:
The number 85 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1814.317647
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 595 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1814.317647
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1814.31764705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us 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.

The final result is 1814.31764705 with a remainder of 7.5e-08.
