We divide 254559 by 85
We want to divide 254559 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 85

Step 2:
85 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 85

Step 3:
The number 85 fits into 254 2 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 254 and we're left with 84.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 84 and continue with: 845 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 845 9 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 765 from 845 leaves us with 80.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 805 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
85 goes into 805 9 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 299.0
Subtracting 765 from 805 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
85 can be fit into 409 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2994.0
If we subtract 340 from 409, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 goes into 690 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2994.8
If we take 680 away from 690, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2994.81
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2994.811
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.

The final result is 2994.811 with a remainder of 0.0065.
