We divide 554887 by 85
We want to divide 554887 by 85.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 85

Step 2:
85 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 554 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 554 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 510 from 554 leaves us with 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 448 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 425 from 448.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 85

Step 5:
85 goes into 238 2 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 652.0
Subtracting 170 from 238 leaves us with 68.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 687 / 85

Step 6:
687 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6528.0
Subtract 680 from 687 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
85 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6528.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 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:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6528.08
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6528.082
If we take 170 away from 200, we end up with 30.
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:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6528.0823
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6528.08235
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 12:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6528.082352
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.

Advancing to step 13:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6528.0823529
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.

Step 14:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6528.08235294
Subtract 340 from 350 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6528.08235294 and a remainder of 1e-08.
