296503 divided by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 296503.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
296 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 41.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 255 from 296 leaves us with 41.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 415 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
415 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 340 from 415 leaves us with 75.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 75, then repeat: 750 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 348.0
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left with 70.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 703 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 703 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3488.0
Subtracting 680 from 703 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
85 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3488.2
Deduct 170 from 230 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 600 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3488.27
Deduct 595 from 600 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3488.27
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3488.2705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 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 11:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3488.27058
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 680 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 12:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3488.270588
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3488.270588 with a balance of 2e-06.
