154257 divided by 85 
We want to divide 154257 by 85.

On to step 1:
85 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 154 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
154 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 85 from 154, we get 69.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 692 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 692 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 680 from 692 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 125 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
85 goes into 125 1 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
Deduct 85 from 125 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 407 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 407 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 67.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1814.0
Subtract 340 from 407 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 670 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 75.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1814.7
If we subtract 595 from 670, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 8:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1814.78
If we subtract 680 from 750, 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1814.788
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 1814.788 and a remainder of 0.002.
