We divide 179585 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 179585.

On to step 1:
85 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 85

On to step 3:
If we divide 179 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 170 from 179, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 95 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 95 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 85 from 95 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 108 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 108 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Deduct 85 from 108 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 235 / 85

Step 6:
85 can be fit into 235 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2112.0
If we subtract 170 from 235, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 650 7 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2112.7
If we take 595 away from 650, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
85 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2112.76
If we subtract 510 from 550, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
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: 2112.764
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 340 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
85 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2112.7647
If we take 595 away from 600, we end up 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2112.7647
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.

Step 12:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2112.764705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2112.7647058
Subtracting 680 from 750 leaves us 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 14:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2112.76470588
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.

Our division results in 2112.76470588 with a remaining 2e-08.
