We divide 981543 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 981543.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 85

Step 2:
85 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 85 away from 98, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 131 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 131 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 85 from 131, we get 46.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 465 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 465 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtract 425 from 465 to get 40.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 404 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
404 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1154.0
If we take 340 away from 404, we end up with 64.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 643 / 85

On to step 6:
643 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11547.0
Deduct 595 from 643 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 480 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11547.5
If we subtract 425 from 480, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
85 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11547.56
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 510 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
85 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11547.564
Subtract 340 from 400 to 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 10:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11547.5647
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.

Advancing to step 11:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11547.5647
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11547.564705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11547.5647058
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 14:
85 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11547.56470588
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 11547.56470588, with a leftover of 2e-08.
