We divide 342270 by 85
Our goal is to divide 342270 by 85.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 85

On to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 342 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
342 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 340 from 342, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 227 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 227 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 402.0
If we subtract 170 from 227, we get 57.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 570 / 85

On to step 6:
85 goes into 570 6 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4026.0
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
85 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4026.7
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4026.7
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4026.705
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.

On to step 10:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4026.7058
Subtracting 680 from 750 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4026.70588
If we subtract 680 from 700, we get 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 4026.70588 with a remainder of 2e-05.
