240730 ÷ 85 
We want to divide 240730 by 85.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 240 / 85

On to step 3:
When dividing 240 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 70.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 170 from 240.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 707 / 85

Step 4:
85 goes into 707 8 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 680 from 707 to get 27.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 273 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 273 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 283.0
Deduct 255 from 273 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 180 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
180 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2832.0
Subtract 170 from 180 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2832.1
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 150 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2832.11
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 85 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2832.11 with a balance of 0.065.
