206979 divided by 85 
Our goal is to divide 206979 by 85.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and 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.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 85

On to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 206 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 206 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 170 from 206.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 369 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 369 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 340 from 369, we get 29.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 297 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 297 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 243.0
If we subtract 255 from 297, we get 42.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 429 / 85

On to step 6:
85 can be fit into 429 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2435.0
Subtracting 425 from 429 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 85 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2435.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2435.04
Subtracting 340 from 400 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 9:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2435.047
If we subtract 595 from 600, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2435.047
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2435.04705
If we take 425 away from 500, we end up with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2435.047058
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up 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 13:
85 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2435.0470588
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 2435.0470588 with a remainder of 2e-07.
