Let's divide 308459 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 308459.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 85

Step 2:
85 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 308 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 308 3 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 255 from 308, we get 53.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 534 / 85

On to step 4:
If we divide 534 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 510 from 534, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
245 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 75.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 362.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 170 from 245.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 759 / 85

Step 6:
When dividing 759 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 79.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3628.0
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 680 from 759.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
790 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 25.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3628.9
Subtracting 765 from 790 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3628.92
Subtracting 170 from 250 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3628.929
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 10:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3628.9294
If we take 340 away from 350, we end up with 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 11:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3628.92941
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3628.929411
If we subtract 85 from 150, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 3628.929411 and a remainder of 6.5e-06.
