We divide 209481 by 85
Our goal is to divide 209481 by 85.

On to 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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 85

Step 2:
The number 85 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 209 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 209 2 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 209 and we're left with 39.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 394 / 85

Step 4:
394 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 340 from 394 leaves us with 54.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 548 / 85

On to step 5:
When dividing 548 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 246.0
If we take 510 away from 548, we end up with 38.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 381 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 381 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 41.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2464.0
If we subtract 340 from 381, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 410 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 70.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2464.4
Deduct 340 from 410 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2464.48
If we subtract 680 from 700, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2464.482
Subtract 170 from 200 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2464.4823
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.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2464.48235
If we take 425 away from 450, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2464.482352
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left 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:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2464.4823529
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2464.48235294
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.

The quotient of the division is 2464.48235294, and the remainder is 1e-08.
