We're dividing 85502898 by 296 
We want to divide 85502898 by 296.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 296, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 296

Step 2:
296 can be fit into 85 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 85, we end up with 85.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 85 and continue with: 855 / 296

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 855 by 296, we get 2 and a remainder of 263.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 592 from 855 leaves us with 263.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 263 and continue: 2630 / 296

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 2630 by 296, we get 8 with a remainder of 262.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 2368 from 2630, we get 262.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 262, then repeat: 2622 / 296

Step 5:
If we divide 2622 by 296, we get 8 and a remainder of 254.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 288.0
If we subtract 2368 from 2622, we get 254.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 254 and continue: 2548 / 296

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 2548 by 296, we get 8 with a remainder of 180.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2888.0
The remainder is 180 after subtracting 2368 from 2548.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 180 and continue: 1809 / 296

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 1809 by 296, we get 6 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28886.0
Subtracting 1776 from 1809 leaves us with 33.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 338 / 296

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 296 fits into 338 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 288861.0
Deduct 296 from 338 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 296 fits into 420 1 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 288861.1
Subtract 296 from 420 to get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 1240 by 296, we get 4 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288861.14
If we take 1184 away from 1240, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
560 divided by 296 is 1 with a remainder of 264.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288861.141
Subtract 296 from 560 to get 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 2640 by 296, we get 8 and a remainder of 272.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288861.1418
Deduct 2368 from 2640 and we're left with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
296 goes into 2720 9 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 288861.14189
If we subtract 2664 from 2720, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
296 can be fit into 560 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 264.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288861.141891
If we take 296 away from 560, we end up with 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 2640 by 296, we get 8 and a remainder of 272.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 288861.1418918
The remainder is 272 after subtracting 2368 from 2640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
296 goes into 2720 9 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288861.14189189
Deduct 2664 from 2720 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 288861.14189189 and a remainder of 5.6e-08.
