We divide 280851 by 85
We want to divide 280851 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 280 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
85 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 255 away from 280, we end up with 25.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 258 / 85

Step 4:
85 can be fit into 258 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 255 from 258, we get 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 85

Step 5:
When dividing 35 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 35.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 330.0
If we take 0 away from 35, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 351 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
85 goes into 351 4 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3304.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 340 from 351.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
85 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3304.1
If we subtract 85 from 110, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3304.12
Subtract 170 from 250 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3304.129
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 765 from 800.
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 10:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3304.1294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3304.12941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3304.129411
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 85 from 150.
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 3304.129411, and the remainder is 6.5e-06.
