We divide 404047 by 85
We want to divide 404047 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 85

On to step 2:
85 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 85

On to step 3:
If we divide 404 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 340 from 404 leaves us with 64.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 640 / 85

Step 4:
The number 85 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 595 from 640, we get 45.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 454 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
85 can be fit into 454 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 475.0
Deduct 425 from 454 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 297 / 85

On to step 6:
If we divide 297 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4753.0
Subtract 255 from 297 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4753.4
If we subtract 340 from 420, 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4753.49
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4753.494
If we take 340 away from 350, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4753.4941
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
85 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4753.49411
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 4753.49411 with a remaining 6.5e-05.
