We divide 299866 by 85
Our goal is to divide 299866 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 299 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
299 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 255 from 299 leaves us with 44.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 448 / 85

On to step 4:
85 goes into 448 5 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we subtract 425 from 448, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 85

Step 5:
The number 85 fits into 236 2 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 352.0
Deduct 170 from 236 and we're left with 66.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 666 / 85

On to step 6:
666 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3527.0
Subtract 595 from 666 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
710 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3527.8
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 680 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 300 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3527.83
If we take 255 away from 300, we end up 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:
85 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3527.835
Subtracting 425 from 450 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3527.8352
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3527.83529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up 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 12:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3527.835294
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:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3527.8352941
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3527.83529411
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.

The final result is 3527.83529411 with a remainder of 6.5e-08.
