214479 ÷ 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 214479.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 214 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 170 from 214 to get 44.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 444 / 85

On to step 4:
444 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 425 from 444 and we're left with 19.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 197 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
197 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 252.0
If we subtract 170 from 197, we get 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 85

Step 6:
279 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2523.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 255 from 279.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2523.2
If we subtract 170 from 240, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2523.28
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2523.282
If we subtract 170 from 200, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 85 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2523.2823
Deduct 255 from 300 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
85 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2523.28235
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 425 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 250 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2523.282352
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2523.2823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2523.28235294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we 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.

The final outcome is 2523.28235294, with a leftover of 1e-08.
