208489 divided by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 208489.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 208 2 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 208 and we're left with 38.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 384 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 384 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 340 from 384 leaves us with 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
85 goes into 448 5 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 245.0
If we subtract 425 from 448, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 85

Step 6:
When dividing 239 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 69.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2452.0
If we take 170 away from 239, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 7:
85 goes into 690 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2452.8
If we take 680 away from 690, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2452.81
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 150 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2452.811
If we take 85 away from 150, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final result is 2452.811 with a remainder of 0.0065.
