We look at the division of 487771 by 85 
We want to divide 487771 by 85.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 85

On to step 3:
If we divide 487 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 425 from 487, we get 62.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 627 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 goes into 627 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
Deduct 595 from 627 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 85

Step 5:
85 can be fit into 327 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 573.0
Deduct 255 from 327 and we're left with 72.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 721 / 85

On to step 6:
85 goes into 721 8 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5738.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 680 from 721.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
410 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5738.4
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 340 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5738.48
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5738.482
Subtracting 170 from 200 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5738.4823
Subtract 255 from 300 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5738.48235
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5738.482352
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5738.4823529
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us 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 14:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5738.48235294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 5738.48235294 and a remainder of 1e-08.
