236417 ÷ 85 
Our goal is to divide 236417 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 236 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 236 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 170 from 236 leaves us with 66.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 664 / 85

Step 4:
85 can be fit into 664 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 595 from 664 leaves us with 69.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 691 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
85 goes into 691 8 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 278.0
If we take 680 away from 691, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 117 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2781.0
If we subtract 85 from 117, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2781.3
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 255 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 8:
85 goes into 650 7 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2781.37
If we subtract 595 from 650, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
550 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2781.376
Subtract 510 from 550 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
85 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2781.3764
Subtracting 340 from 400 leaves us with 60.
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 11:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2781.37647
Subtracting 595 from 600 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
50 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2781.37647
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2781.3764705
If we take 425 away from 500, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2781.37647058
Subtract 680 from 750 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2781.37647058, and the remainder is 7e-08.
