We divide 493431 by 85
Our goal is to divide 493431 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
85 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 493 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 493 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 68.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 425 from 493.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 684 / 85

On to step 4:
85 goes into 684 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Deduct 680 from 684 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 43 0 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 580.0
Deduct 0 from 43 and we're left with 43.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 431 / 85

Step 6:
431 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5805.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 425 from 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5805.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
85 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5805.07
Deduct 595 from 600 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5805.07
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5805.0705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 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 11:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5805.07058
Subtract 680 from 750 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5805.070588
Subtract 680 from 700 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5805.070588, with a leftover of 2e-06.
