We divide 170956 by 85
We want to divide 170956 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
17 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 170 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 170 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 170 from 170 to get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 95 / 85

On to step 5:
If we divide 95 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 201.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 85 from 95.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 106 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 106 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2011.0
If we take 85 away from 106, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
85 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2011.2
If we subtract 170 from 210, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 85 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2011.24
If we subtract 340 from 400, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2011.247
Deduct 595 from 600 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2011.247
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2011.24705
If we subtract 425 from 500, we 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2011.247058
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.

Step 13:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2011.2470588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
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 2011.2470588, and the remainder is 2e-07.
