We divide 462984 by 85
We want to divide 462984 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
46 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 462 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 462 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 37.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 425 away from 462, we end up with 37.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 379 / 85

Step 4:
85 goes into 379 4 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 340 from 379, we get 39.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 398 / 85

On to step 5:
85 goes into 398 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 544.0
Subtract 340 from 398 to get 58.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 584 / 85

On to step 6:
85 can be fit into 584 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5446.0
Deduct 510 from 584 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 can be fit into 740 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5446.8
If we subtract 680 from 740, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 600 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5446.87
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 595 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5446.87
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5446.8705
If we take 425 away from 500, we end up with 75.
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 11:
The number 85 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5446.87058
Subtract 680 from 750 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5446.870588
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.

The quotient of the division is 5446.870588, and the remainder is 2e-06.
