We're dividing 29917 by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 29917.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
29 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 299 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 299 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 255 from 299 to get 44.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 441 / 85

On to step 4:
441 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 425 from 441 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 167 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 82.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 351.0
Subtracting 85 from 167 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 820 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 55.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 351.9
Subtracting 765 from 820 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
85 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 351.96
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 510 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
400 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 351.964
If we take 340 away from 400, we end up with 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: 351.9647
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
50 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 351.9647
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

On to 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: 351.964705
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 425 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 351.9647058
Subtract 680 from 750 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 351.96470588
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 final result is 351.96470588 with a remainder of 2e-08.
