247489 ÷ 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 247489 can be divided by 85.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 85

On to step 2:
24 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 247 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 247 2 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 170 from 247 leaves us with 77.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 774 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 774 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 765 away from 774, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 98 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 291.0
If we subtract 85 from 98, we get 13.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 139 / 85

On to step 6:
If we divide 139 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2911.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 85 from 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 540 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2911.6
Subtracting 510 from 540 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2911.63
Deduct 255 from 300 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 450 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2911.635
Deduct 425 from 450 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2911.6352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2911.63529
Deduct 765 from 800 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2911.635294
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 13:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2911.6352941
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.

Step 14:
When dividing 150 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2911.63529411
If we subtract 85 from 150, we get 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 quotient of the division is 2911.63529411, and the remainder is 6.5e-08.
