We're dividing 973831 by 85 
We want to divide 973831 by 85.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
85 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 85 from 97.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 123 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 85 away from 123, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 388 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 114.0
If we take 340 away from 388, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 483 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 483 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1145.0
If we take 425 away from 483, we end up with 58.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 581 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
581 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11456.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 510 from 581.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 710 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 30.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11456.8
Subtract 680 from 710 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 300 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11456.83
Deduct 255 from 300 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
85 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11456.835
Subtract 425 from 450 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11456.8352
If we subtract 170 from 250, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11456.83529
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us 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 12:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11456.835294
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11456.8352941
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 14:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11456.83529411
If we subtract 85 from 150, 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.

Our division results in 11456.83529411 with a remaining 6.5e-08.
