483459 ÷ 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 483459 can be divided by 85.

On to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 483 / 85

Step 3:
When dividing 483 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 425 from 483 leaves us with 58.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 584 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
584 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 510 from 584 leaves us with 74.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 745 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
85 can be fit into 745 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 568.0
Deduct 680 from 745 and we're left with 65.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 659 / 85

Step 6:
659 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5687.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 595 from 659.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5687.7
If we subtract 595 from 640, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5687.75
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 425 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5687.752
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5687.7529
If we subtract 765 from 800, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5687.75294
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us 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 12:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5687.752941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 150 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5687.7529411
Subtract 85 from 150 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5687.7529411 with a balance of 6.5e-07.
