We're dividing 286986 by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 286986.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 286 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 286 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 255 from 286 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 319 / 85

On to step 4:
85 goes into 319 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 255 from 319, we get 64.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 648 / 85

On to step 5:
85 can be fit into 648 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 337.0
Subtracting 595 from 648 leaves us with 53.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 536 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 goes into 536 6 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3376.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 510 from 536.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3376.3
If we take 255 away from 260, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3376.3
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 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:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3376.305
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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 3376.3058
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 680 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3376.30588
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 3376.30588 with a remainder of 2e-05.
