282951 divided by 85 
Our goal is to divide 282951 by 85.

Step 1:
85 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
28 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 282 / 85

On to step 3:
85 can be fit into 282 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 255 from 282 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 279 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 255 from 279 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 245 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 245 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 332.0
Subtracting 170 from 245 leaves us with 75.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 751 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
751 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 71.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3328.0
Deduct 680 from 751 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 710 8 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3328.8
Deduct 680 from 710 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3328.83
Subtracting 255 from 300 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3328.835
Subtract 425 from 450 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3328.8352
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3328.83529
Subtract 765 from 800 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3328.835294
Subtract 340 from 350 to 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.

Step 13:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3328.8352941
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 150 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3328.83529411
If we take 85 away from 150, we end up 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.

The final result is 3328.83529411 with a remainder of 6.5e-08.
