We look at the division of 686497 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 686497 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 85

On to step 2:
68 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 68.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 0 from 68.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 686 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 686 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 680 from 686, we get 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
64 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
Deduct 0 from 64 and we're left with 64.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 649 / 85

On to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 649 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 807.0
If we take 595 away from 649, we end up with 54.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 547 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 547 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 37.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8076.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 510 from 547.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 370 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8076.4
Subtract 340 from 370 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
85 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8076.43
If we subtract 255 from 300, 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 450 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8076.435
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 10:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8076.4352
If we subtract 170 from 250, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8076.43529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 12:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8076.435294
Subtract 340 from 350 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8076.4352941
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 150 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8076.43529411
If we take 85 away from 150, we end up with 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 8076.43529411 with a balance of 6.5e-08.
