We divide 271784 by 85
Our goal is to divide 271784 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 271 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 can be fit into 271 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 255 from 271 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 167 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
167 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 82.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 85 from 167 leaves us with 82.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 828 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 828 9 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 319.0
If we subtract 765 from 828, we get 63.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 634 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
85 can be fit into 634 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3197.0
Subtracting 595 from 634 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 390 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 50.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3197.4
Subtract 340 from 390 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3197.45
If we take 425 away from 500, we end up with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3197.458
Subtract 680 from 750 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3197.4588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3197.4588, with a leftover of 0.0002.
