Let's divide 581143 by 85
We want to divide 581143 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
58 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 581 / 85

Step 3:
When dividing 581 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 510 from 581 to get 71.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 711 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 711 8 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 680 from 711.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 314 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 59.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 683.0
If we subtract 255 from 314, we get 59.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 593 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 goes into 593 6 times with a remainder of 83.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6836.0
Deduct 510 from 593 and we're left with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 830 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 65.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6836.9
Subtracting 765 from 830 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 650 7 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6836.97
Deduct 595 from 650 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 550 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6836.976
Subtract 510 from 550 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6836.9764
If we take 340 away from 400, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6836.97647
Deduct 595 from 600 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6836.97647
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6836.9764705
Subtract 425 from 500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6836.97647058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 6836.97647058, and the remainder is 7e-08.
