254712 divided by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 254712.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 254 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 84.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 254 and we're left with 84.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 84 and continue: 847 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
847 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 82.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 765 from 847, we get 82.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 82 and repeat the process: 821 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 821 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 299.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 765 from 821.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 562 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 can be fit into 562 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2996.0
Subtract 510 from 562 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 520 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2996.6
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 510 from 520.
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 8:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2996.61
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

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: 2996.611
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.

The final outcome is 2996.611, with a leftover of 0.0065.
