Let's divide 204304 by 85
Our goal is to divide 204304 by 85.

Step 1:
85 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
204 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 170 from 204 leaves us with 34.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 343 / 85

On to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 343 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 340 from 343 to get 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 304 / 85

On to step 6:
When dividing 304 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2403.0
If we take 255 away from 304, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 85 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2403.5
Deduct 425 from 490 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
85 can be fit into 650 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2403.57
Subtracting 595 from 650 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 550 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2403.576
If we take 510 away from 550, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
400 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2403.5764
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 340 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
85 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2403.57647
Subtract 595 from 600 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2403.57647
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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 13:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2403.5764705
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 425 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2403.57647058
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up 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.

Our division results in 2403.57647058 with a remaining 7e-08.
