We look at the division of 344784 by 85 
We want to divide 344784 by 85.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
85 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 344 / 85

On to step 3:
If we divide 344 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 340 from 344 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 85

On to step 4:
When dividing 47 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 478 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 53.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 405.0
Deduct 425 from 478 and we're left with 53.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 534 / 85

On to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 534 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4056.0
If we subtract 510 from 534, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on 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: 4056.2
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:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4056.28
Subtract 680 from 700 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4056.282
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.

Step 10:
300 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4056.2823
Subtracting 255 from 300 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4056.28235
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4056.282352
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 800 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4056.2823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 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:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4056.28235294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 4056.28235294, and the remainder is 1e-08.
