Let's divide 406464 by 85
We want to divide 406464 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 406 / 85

Step 3:
The number 85 fits into 406 4 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 340 away from 406, we end up with 66.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 664 / 85

Step 4:
If we divide 664 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 69.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 595 from 664 and we're left with 69.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 696 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 696 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 478.0
If we subtract 680 from 696, we get 16.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 164 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
164 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4781.0
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 85 from 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 790 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4781.9
If we subtract 765 from 790, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4781.92
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 170 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 4781.929
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4781.9294
Deduct 340 from 350 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4781.92941
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4781.929411
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us 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.

The final result is 4781.929411 with a remainder of 6.5e-06.
