We divide 248004 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 248004.

Step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 85

Step 2:
24 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
85 can be fit into 248 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 170 from 248.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 780 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 goes into 780 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 765 from 780 to get 15.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 150 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtract 85 from 150 to get 65.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 654 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 goes into 654 7 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2917.0
Subtracting 595 from 654 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 590 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2917.6
If we take 510 away from 590, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 800 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2917.69
Deduct 765 from 800 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2917.694
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2917.6941
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2917.69411
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 85 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2917.69411 with a balance of 6.5e-05.
