17731 ÷ 85 
We want to divide 17731 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 177 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 170 from 177 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 73 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 73 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 73.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 73, we get 73.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 731 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 731 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 51.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 208.0
If we subtract 680 from 731, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 6:
510 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 208.6
Subtract 510 from 510 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 0 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 208.6
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 208.6
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 208.6, with a leftover of 0.0.
