We divide 217023 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 217023 can be divided by 85.

Let's proceed to 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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
85 goes into 217 2 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 170 from 217 leaves us with 47.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 470 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 470 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 425 from 470.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 452 / 85

Step 5:
85 goes into 452 5 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 255.0
Subtract 425 from 452 to get 27.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 273 / 85

On to step 6:
273 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2553.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 255 from 273.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 180 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2553.2
Subtracting 170 from 180 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.

Step 8:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2553.21
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2553.211
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us 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 2553.211 and a remainder of 0.0065.
