Let's divide 479972 by 85
Our goal is to divide 479972 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 85

Step 2:
47 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 85

Step 3:
479 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 54.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 425 from 479, we get 54.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 549 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
549 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 39.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 510 from 549, we get 39.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 397 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
85 can be fit into 397 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 564.0
Subtracting 340 from 397 leaves us with 57.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 572 / 85

Step 6:
572 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5646.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 510 from 572.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 620 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5646.7
Subtract 595 from 620 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5646.72
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.

Step 9:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5646.729
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5646.7294
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5646.72941
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5646.729411
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.

After the division, we end up with 5646.729411 and a remainder of 6.5e-06.
