We're dividing 981017 by 85 
We want to divide 981017 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 85

On to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 85 from 98.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 131 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
131 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 85 from 131.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 460 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 460 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we take 425 away from 460, we end up with 35.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 351 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 351 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1154.0
If we take 340 away from 351, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 117 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11541.0
Subtract 85 from 117 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11541.3
Subtract 255 from 320 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 650 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 55.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11541.37
If we subtract 595 from 650, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 550 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11541.376
Subtract 510 from 550 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
85 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11541.3764
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11541.37647
Subtract 595 from 600 to get 5.
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 12:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11541.37647
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11541.3764705
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.

On to step 14:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11541.37647058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11541.37647058 and a remainder of 7e-08.
