We're dividing 34686 by 85 
We want to divide 34686 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 346 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 346 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 340 from 346.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 can be fit into 68 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 68, we end up with 68.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 686 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 goes into 686 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 408.0
Deduct 680 from 686 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
60 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 408.0
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 600 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408.07
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 595 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 408.07
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 408.0705
Deduct 425 from 500 and we're left with 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 10:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 408.07058
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 680 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 408.070588
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left 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 408.070588, and the remainder is 2e-06.
