We're dividing 30974 by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 30974.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 85

Step 2:
When dividing 30 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 309 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
309 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 255 from 309.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 547 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 547 6 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 510 from 547, we get 37.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 374 / 85

On to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 374 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 364.0
If we take 340 away from 374, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
85 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 364.4
Subtracting 340 from 340 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 364.4
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 85 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 364.4
If we take 0 away from 0, 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 quotient of the division is 364.4, and the remainder is 0.0.
