123572 divided by 85 
We want to divide 123572 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
85 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 85

Advancing 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: 1.0
If we subtract 85 from 123, we get 38.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 385 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 goes into 385 4 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 340 from 385.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 457 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 457 5 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtracting 425 from 457 leaves us with 32.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 322 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 can be fit into 322 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1453.0
Subtract 255 from 322 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 670 7 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1453.7
If we subtract 595 from 670, we 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1453.78
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up 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.

Step 9:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1453.788
If we subtract 680 from 700, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1453.788 with a remaining 0.002.
