We divide 85744 by 34
We want to divide 85744 by 34.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 34 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 34

Step 2:
85 divided by 34 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 68 from 85 to get 17.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 177 / 34

Moving on to step 3:
34 goes into 177 5 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 170 from 177 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 34

Moving on to step 4:
The number 34 fits into 74 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 252.0
Deduct 68 from 74 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 34

Moving on to step 5:
34 can be fit into 64 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2521.0
If we take 34 away from 64, 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 6:
300 divided by 34 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2521.8
Subtracting 272 from 300 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2521.88
Subtract 272 from 280 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2521.88 with a remaining 0.008.
