Let's divide 499724 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 499724.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 85 is 0 with 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 (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
85 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 499 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 499 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 425 from 499 and we're left with 74.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 747 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 goes into 747 8 times with a remainder of 67.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Deduct 680 from 747 and we're left with 67.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 672 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 672 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 77.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 587.0
If we subtract 595 from 672, we get 77.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 774 / 85

On to step 6:
If we divide 774 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5879.0
If we take 765 away from 774, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5879.1
If we take 85 away from 90, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5879.1
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
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: 5879.105
If we subtract 425 from 500, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5879.1058
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5879.10588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5879.10588 and a remainder of 2e-05.
