Let's divide 203900 by 85
Our goal is to divide 203900 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 85

On to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 203 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 goes into 203 2 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 170 from 203, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 339 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 339 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 84.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 255 from 339 leaves us with 84.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 84 and continue: 840 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 840 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 239.0
Deduct 765 from 840 and we're left with 75.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 75, then repeat: 750 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2398.0
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.

Moving on to step 7:
85 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2398.8
If we subtract 680 from 700, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 2398.82
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.

On to step 9:
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: 2398.823
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.

Advancing to step 10:
85 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2398.8235
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 11:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2398.82352
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.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 2398.823529
If we subtract 765 from 800, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2398.8235294
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2398.82352941
Subtract 85 from 100 to 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.

The final result is 2398.82352941 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
