We look at the division of 242514 by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 242514.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 242 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 170 from 242 to get 72.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 725 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
725 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 45.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 680 from 725 leaves us with 45.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 451 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 451 5 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 285.0
If we take 425 away from 451, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 85

Step 6:
The number 85 fits into 264 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2853.0
Subtract 255 from 264 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2853.1
Subtract 85 from 90 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.

Step 8:
50 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2853.1
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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 9:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2853.105
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2853.1058
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2853.10588
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2853.10588 with a remaining 2e-05.
