We look at the division of 249040 by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 249040.

Step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 249 2 times with a remainder of 79.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 170 from 249 to get 79.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 79 and repeat the process: 790 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 790 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 765 from 790 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 85

Step 5:
85 goes into 254 2 times with a remainder of 84.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 292.0
Deduct 170 from 254 and we're left with 84.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 840 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2929.0
Subtract 765 from 840 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2929.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
85 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2929.88
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 quotient of the division is 2929.88, and the remainder is 0.02.
