We're dividing 21874768 by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 21874768.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 85

Step 2:
When dividing 21 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 218 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 218 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 487 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 487 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 425 from 487 and we're left with 62.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 624 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 624 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 257.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 595 from 624.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
297 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2573.0
If we take 255 away from 297, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 426 / 85

Moving on to step 7:
85 goes into 426 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25735.0
Deduct 425 from 426 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 85

Step 8:
85 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 257350.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 85 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 257350.2
Subtracting 170 from 180 leaves us with 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 10:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 257350.21
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:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 257350.211
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.

After the division, we end up with 257350.211 and a remainder of 0.0065.
