We're dividing 161424 by 85 
We want to divide 161424 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
85 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
85 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
161 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 85 from 161 to get 76.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 764 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 goes into 764 8 times with a remainder of 84.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 680 from 764 and we're left with 84.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 842 / 85

On to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 842 9 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 189.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 765 from 842.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 77 and continue with: 774 / 85

On to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 774 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1899.0
If we subtract 765 from 774, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1899.1
Subtract 85 from 90 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1899.1
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 9:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1899.105
If we subtract 425 from 500, 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.

On to step 10:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1899.1058
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 11:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1899.10588
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 1899.10588, with a leftover of 2e-05.
