We divide 844231 by 85
Our goal is to divide 844231 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 85

On to step 2:
84 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 84 and we're left with 84.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 844 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 844 9 times with a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 765 from 844, we get 79.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 79, then repeat: 792 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 can be fit into 792 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99.0
Deduct 765 from 792 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 273 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 273 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 993.0
If we subtract 255 from 273, we get 18.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 181 / 85

On to step 6:
181 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9932.0
Subtracting 170 from 181 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9932.1
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 85 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9932.12
Subtract 170 from 250 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9932.129
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.

On to step 10:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9932.1294
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9932.12941
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up 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:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9932.129411
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.

The final result is 9932.129411 with a remainder of 6.5e-06.
