We look at the division of 300142 by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 300142.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 85

Step 2:
When dividing 30 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 300 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 300 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 255 from 300 leaves us with 45.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 451 / 85

Step 4:
When dividing 451 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 425 away from 451, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
85 goes into 264 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 353.0
If we take 255 away from 264, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 92 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
92 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3531.0
Subtract 85 from 92 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3531.0
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 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 8:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3531.08
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3531.082
If we subtract 170 from 200, we get 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 10:
When dividing 300 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3531.0823
Subtract 255 from 300 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3531.08235
If we subtract 425 from 450, we get 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 12:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3531.082352
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3531.0823529
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3531.08235294
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3531.08235294 and a remainder of 1e-08.
