We're dividing 271806 by 85 
We want to divide 271806 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
85 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 271 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
271 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 255 away from 271, we end up with 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 168 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 85 from 168 to get 83.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 83, then repeat: 830 / 85

Step 5:
85 can be fit into 830 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 319.0
Subtracting 765 from 830 leaves us with 65.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 656 / 85

Step 6:
When dividing 656 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3197.0
Deduct 595 from 656 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3197.7
Subtract 595 from 610 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3197.71
Subtract 85 from 150 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.

Moving on to step 9:
85 goes into 650 7 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3197.717
Deduct 595 from 650 and we're left 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 10:
85 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3197.7176
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
400 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3197.71764
Subtract 340 from 400 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
85 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3197.717647
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 595 from 600.
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 13:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3197.717647
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3197.71764705
Deduct 425 from 500 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3197.71764705 with a remaining 7.5e-08.
