We're dividing 234964 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 234964 by 85.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 85

Step 2:
When dividing 23 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 234 / 85

On to step 3:
When dividing 234 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 170 away from 234, we end up with 64.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 649 / 85

On to step 4:
85 goes into 649 7 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 595 from 649 and we're left with 54.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 546 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 546 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 276.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 510 from 546.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 364 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 can be fit into 364 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2764.0
Deduct 340 from 364 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2764.2
Subtracting 170 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2764.28
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2764.282
If we take 170 away from 200, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2764.2823
If we take 255 away from 300, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2764.28235
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 425 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2764.282352
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2764.2823529
If we subtract 765 from 800, we get 35.
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 14:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2764.28235294
Deduct 340 from 350 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2764.28235294 with a balance of 1e-08.
