We're dividing 311951 by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 311951 can be divided by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
85 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 311 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 311 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 255 from 311 and we're left with 56.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 569 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 can be fit into 569 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 510 away from 569, we end up with 59.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 595 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 595 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 367.0
If we take 595 away from 595, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 85

On to step 6:
When dividing 1 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3670.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3670.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3670.01
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left 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:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3670.011
Deduct 85 from 150 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 3670.011 and a remainder of 0.0065.
