We divide 499797 by 85
We want to divide 499797 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 499 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 499 5 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 425 from 499, we get 74.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 747 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
747 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 67.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58.0
Deduct 680 from 747 and we're left with 67.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 679 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 679 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 84.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 587.0
Subtracting 595 from 679 leaves us with 84.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 84, then carry on: 847 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
847 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 82.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5879.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 765 from 847.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
85 can be fit into 820 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5879.9
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 765 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
550 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5879.96
Subtracting 510 from 550 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 60.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5879.964
If we take 340 away from 400, we end up with 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 10:
The number 85 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5879.9647
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.

Advancing to step 11:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5879.9647
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.

Step 12:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5879.964705
Subtract 425 from 500 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5879.9647058
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.

Step 14:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5879.96470588
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.

The final result is 5879.96470588 with a remainder of 2e-08.
