Let's divide 877986 by 85
We want to divide 877986 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
87 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 85 from 87 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 85

Step 3:
The number 85 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 85

On to step 4:
279 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 103.0
Deduct 255 from 279 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 248 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
248 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 78.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1032.0
Subtracting 170 from 248 leaves us with 78.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 786 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
786 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10329.0
Subtracting 765 from 786 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10329.2
If we subtract 170 from 210, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
85 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10329.24
If we subtract 340 from 400, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10329.247
If we subtract 595 from 600, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10329.247
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10329.24705
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 425 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10329.247058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10329.2470588
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 quotient of the division is 10329.2470588, and the remainder is 2e-07.
