We divide 282998 by 85
We want to divide 282998 by 85.

Step 1:
85 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 282 / 85

On to step 3:
When dividing 282 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 255 from 282 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 85

On to step 4:
279 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 255 from 279 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 85

On to step 5:
85 can be fit into 249 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 332.0
If we take 170 away from 249, we end up with 79.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 79, then repeat: 798 / 85

On to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 798 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3329.0
If we subtract 765 from 798, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
330 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 75.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3329.3
If we take 255 away from 330, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3329.38
Subtracting 680 from 750 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.

On to step 9:
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: 3329.388
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.

The final outcome is 3329.388, with a leftover of 0.002.
