Let's divide 85972837 by 256
We want to figure out the number of times 85972837 can be divided by 256.

On to step 1:
256 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 256

Advancing to step 2:
85 divided by 256 is 0 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 85 to get 85.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 859 / 256

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 859 by 256, we get 3 with a remainder of 91.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 768 from 859 leaves us with 91.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 91 and continue: 917 / 256

On to step 4:
The number 256 fits into 917 3 times, leaving a remainder of 149.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 768 from 917, we get 149.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 149 and continue: 1492 / 256

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 1492 by 256, we get 5 with a remainder of 212.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 335.0
The remainder is 212 after subtracting 1280 from 1492.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 212 and continue with: 2128 / 256

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2128 by 256, we get 8 and a remainder of 80.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3358.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 2048 from 2128.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 80 and continue: 803 / 256

On to step 7:
The number 256 fits into 803 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33583.0
Subtracting 768 from 803 leaves us with 35.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 256

Step 8:
The number 256 fits into 357 1 times, leaving a remainder of 101.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 335831.0
Subtracting 256 from 357 leaves us with 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
1010 divided by 256 is 3 with a remainder of 242.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 335831.3
Subtracting 768 from 1010 leaves us with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 2420 by 256, we get 9 with a remainder of 116.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 335831.39
If we take 2304 away from 2420, we end up with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 1160 by 256, we get 4 and a remainder of 136.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 335831.394
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 1024 from 1160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1360 divided by 256 is 5 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 335831.3945
Deduct 1280 from 1360 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 800 by 256, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 335831.39453
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 768 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
256 can be fit into 320 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 335831.394531
If we take 256 away from 320, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 256 fits into 640 2 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 335831.3945312
If we take 512 away from 640, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 256 fits into 1280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 335831.39453125
If we take 1280 away from 1280, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 335831.39453125 with a remainder of 0.0.
