We look at the division of 231250 by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 231250.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and 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.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 231 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 170 from 231 to get 61.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 612 / 85

On to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 612 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 595 from 612 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 175 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
175 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 272.0
If we take 170 away from 175, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2720.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2720.5
Subtract 425 from 500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2720.58
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2720.588
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 2720.588, and the remainder is 0.002.
