To divide 3 by 85, you can set it up as a fraction:

[

frac{3}{85}

]

This division results in a decimal. When you perform the division, you get approximately:

[
0.0353

]

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Set up the division: 3 divided by 85.
2. Perform long division: 85 goes into 3 zero times, so you move to decimal places.
3. Continue dividing: When you add decimal places, you find that 85 goes into 300 around 3 times (since 85 x 3 = 255).
4. Calculate the remainder: Subtract 255 from 300, which gives you 45. Bring down a 0 to make 450.
5. Repeat: 85 goes into 450 about 5 times (since 85 x 5 = 425).
6. Continue until desired precision.

The final answer is approximately 0.0353.
