We divide 408623 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 408623.

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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 85

Step 2:
If we divide 40 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 408 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 can be fit into 408 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 340 from 408 leaves us with 68.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 686 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
686 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 680 from 686 to get 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 62 0 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 480.0
Subtracting 0 from 62 leaves us with 62.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 623 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 623 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4807.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 595 from 623.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
85 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4807.3
Subtract 255 from 280 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 250 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4807.32
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4807.329
Deduct 765 from 800 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4807.3294
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.

Step 11:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4807.32941
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
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: 4807.329411
Subtract 85 from 150 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.

Our division results in 4807.329411 with a remaining 6.5e-06.
