We're dividing 235257 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 235257 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 235 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
235 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 65.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 170 from 235 to get 65.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 652 / 85

On to step 4:
85 can be fit into 652 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 595 from 652.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 575 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
575 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 65.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 276.0
If we take 510 away from 575, we end up with 65.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 657 / 85

Step 6:
85 goes into 657 7 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2767.0
If we take 595 away from 657, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 620 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2767.7
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 595 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2767.72
Subtract 170 from 250 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2767.729
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2767.7294
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2767.72941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
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: 2767.729411
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 2767.729411 with a remaining 6.5e-06.
