Let's divide 609961 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 609961.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
60 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 609 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 609 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 595 from 609, we get 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 85

On to step 4:
85 can be fit into 149 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 85 from 149, we get 64.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 646 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
85 goes into 646 7 times with a remainder of 51.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 717.0
If we subtract 595 from 646, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 511 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
511 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7176.0
If we subtract 510 from 511, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7176.0
Subtract 0 from 10 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 8:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7176.01
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.

Advancing to step 9:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7176.011
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.

Our division results in 7176.011 with a remaining 0.0065.
