238739 divided by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 238739 can be divided by 85.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
85 goes into 238 2 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 170 away from 238, we end up with 68.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 687 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 goes into 687 8 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 680 from 687, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 73 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 280.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 0 from 73.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 739 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 739 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2808.0
Subtract 680 from 739 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 7:
85 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2808.6
If we subtract 510 from 590, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2808.69
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.

On to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2808.694
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 10:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2808.6941
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.

Moving on to step 11:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2808.69411
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 2808.69411 and a remainder of 6.5e-05.
