We look at the division of 708947 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 708947 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 70 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
70 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 708 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 708 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 680 from 708 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 289 / 85

Step 4:
85 goes into 289 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtracting 255 from 289 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 344 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 344 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 834.0
If we subtract 340 from 344, we get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
47 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8340.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 470 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8340.5
If we subtract 425 from 470, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8340.55
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8340.55 with a balance of 0.025.
