Let's divide 287860 by 85
Our goal is to divide 287860 by 85.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 85

Step 2:
85 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 85

Step 3:
287 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 255 from 287 to get 32.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 328 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 can be fit into 328 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 255 from 328 and we're left with 73.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 736 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
736 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 338.0
If we subtract 680 from 736, we get 56.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 560 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 560 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3386.0
If we take 510 away from 560, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3386.5
If we subtract 425 from 500, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3386.58
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.

Moving on to step 9:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3386.588
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up 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 quotient of the division is 3386.588, and the remainder is 0.002.
