231055 divided by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 231055.

On to step 1:
85 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 85

On to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 231 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
85 goes into 231 2 times with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 231 and we're left with 61.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 610 / 85

Step 4:
85 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 595 from 610 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 155 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 155 1 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 271.0
If we take 85 away from 155, we end up with 70.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 705 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
705 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 25.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2718.0
Subtracting 680 from 705 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2718.2
If we subtract 170 from 250, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2718.29
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 765 from 800.
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.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2718.294
Subtract 340 from 350 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2718.2941
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.

Step 11:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2718.29411
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2718.29411 with a balance of 6.5e-05.
