We divide 274705 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 274705 can be divided by 85.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
85 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 274 / 85

On to step 3:
When dividing 274 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 255 from 274 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 197 2 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 170 from 197.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 270 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
85 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 323.0
Subtract 255 from 270 to get 15.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 155 / 85

On to step 6:
85 can be fit into 155 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3231.0
If we take 85 away from 155, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3231.8
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.

On to step 8:
85 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3231.82
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 170 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
85 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3231.823
Subtract 255 from 300 to get 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 10:
If we divide 450 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3231.8235
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3231.82352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 12:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3231.823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3231.8235294
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.

Step 14:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3231.82352941
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.

Our division results in 3231.82352941 with a remaining 1.5e-08.
