We look at the division of 496059 by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 496059 can be divided by 85.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 496 / 85

Step 3:
85 goes into 496 5 times with a remainder of 71.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 425 away from 496, we end up with 71.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 710 / 85

Step 4:
The number 85 fits into 710 8 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 680 from 710.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 305 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 305 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 50.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 583.0
If we subtract 255 from 305, we get 50.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 509 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 509 5 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5835.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 425 from 509.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5835.9
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 765 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to 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: 5835.98
If we subtract 680 from 750, we 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.

On to step 9:
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: 5835.988
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5835.988 with a balance of 0.002.
