218751 divided by 85 
Our goal is to divide 218751 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 85

On to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 85

On to step 3:
85 can be fit into 218 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 170 from 218 and we're left with 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 487 5 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 425 from 487 to get 62.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 625 / 85

On to step 5:
When dividing 625 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 257.0
If we subtract 595 from 625, we get 30.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 301 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 301 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2573.0
Subtracting 255 from 301 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 460 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2573.5
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 425 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2573.54
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2573.541
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2573.5411
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2573.5411, with a leftover of 0.00065.
