We're dividing 144048 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 144048 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 144 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 85 from 144 and we're left with 59.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 590 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 590 6 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 510 from 590, we get 80.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 80, then repeat: 804 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 goes into 804 9 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
Subtract 765 from 804 to get 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 goes into 398 4 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1694.0
Deduct 340 from 398 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
85 can be fit into 580 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1694.6
If we take 510 away from 580, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1694.68
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.

On to step 9:
85 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1694.682
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 170 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1694.6823
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1694.68235
Deduct 425 from 450 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1694.682352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1694.6823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1694.68235294
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1694.68235294 with a balance of 1e-08.
