Let's divide 286661 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 286661.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 85

On to step 2:
85 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 286 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
85 can be fit into 286 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 255 from 286 to get 31.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 316 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 316 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 255 from 316 leaves us with 61.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 616 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
616 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 337.0
Deduct 595 from 616 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 211 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 211 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3372.0
Deduct 170 from 211 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 410 4 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3372.4
Subtracting 340 from 410 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3372.48
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
85 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3372.482
If we subtract 170 from 200, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 300 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3372.4823
Subtract 255 from 300 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
85 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3372.48235
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 425 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3372.482352
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 170 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 13:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3372.4823529
If we subtract 765 from 800, we get 35.
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 14:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3372.48235294
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.

After the division, we end up with 3372.48235294 and a remainder of 1e-08.
