We divide 471517 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 471517 can be divided by 85.

Step 1:
4 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 471 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 471 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 425 from 471 to get 46.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 465 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 465 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 425 from 465, we get 40.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 401 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 goes into 401 4 times with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 554.0
Deduct 340 from 401 and we're left with 61.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 617 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
617 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5547.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 595 from 617.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 220 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5547.2
Subtract 170 from 220 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5547.25
If we take 425 away from 500, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5547.258
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5547.2588
If we subtract 680 from 700, we get 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 5547.2588 with a remaining 0.0002.
