290599 ÷ 85 
We want to divide 290599 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 85

Step 2:
29 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 290 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 255 from 290 leaves us with 35.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 355 / 85

Step 4:
When dividing 355 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 340 from 355 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 85

On to step 5:
85 goes into 159 1 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 341.0
Subtract 85 from 159 to get 74.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 749 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 749 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3418.0
Deduct 680 from 749 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 goes into 690 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3418.8
Subtract 680 from 690 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3418.81
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3418.811
If we subtract 85 from 150, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3418.811 with a balance of 0.0065.
