33842 divided by 85 
Our goal is to divide 33842 by 85.

Step 1:
85 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 33 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 33 0 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 0 from 33.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 338 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 255 from 338.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 83 and continue: 834 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 834 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 69.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 765 from 834 leaves us with 69.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 692 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
85 goes into 692 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 398.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 680 from 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 120 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 398.1
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 85 from 120.
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 7:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 398.14
If we subtract 340 from 350, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 398.141
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 398.1411
If we take 85 away from 150, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 398.1411 with a remaining 0.00065.
