Let's divide 231485 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 231485.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 85

On to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 231 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
231 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 170 from 231, we get 61.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 614 / 85

Step 4:
85 goes into 614 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 595 from 614 to get 19.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 198 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
85 can be fit into 198 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272.0
Deduct 170 from 198 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 285 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 goes into 285 3 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2723.0
If we subtract 255 from 285, 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 7:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2723.3
Subtracting 255 from 300 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 8:
85 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2723.35
If we subtract 425 from 450, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2723.352
If we subtract 170 from 250, we get 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 10:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2723.3529
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 765 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2723.35294
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2723.352941
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2723.3529411
Subtract 85 from 150 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2723.3529411 and a remainder of 6.5e-07.
