We're dividing 290255 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 290255 by 85.

On to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
29 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 290 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 290 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 255 from 290 to get 35.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 352 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 goes into 352 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 340 away from 352, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 125 / 85

Step 5:
The number 85 fits into 125 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 341.0
Subtracting 85 from 125 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 405 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
405 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3414.0
Subtract 340 from 405 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
650 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3414.7
If we take 595 away from 650, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3414.76
Deduct 510 from 550 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3414.764
Deduct 340 from 400 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3414.7647
Subtract 595 from 600 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3414.7647
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.

On to step 12:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3414.764705
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3414.7647058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left 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 14:
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: 3414.76470588
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 3414.76470588, and the remainder is 2e-08.
