Let's divide 1420858 by 856
We're looking to find how many times 856 goes into 1420858.

Let's proceed to step 1:
856 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 856

On to step 2:
The number 856 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 142 / 856

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 142 by 856, we get 0 with a remainder of 142.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 142, we end up with 142.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 142, then repeat: 1420 / 856

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 1420 by 856, we get 1 and a remainder of 564.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 856 from 1420 to get 564.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 564, then carry on: 5648 / 856

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 5648 by 856, we get 6 and a remainder of 512.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 5136 away from 5648, we end up with 512.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 512, then repeat: 5125 / 856

Going ahead to step 6:
856 can be fit into 5125 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 845.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 165.0
If we subtract 4280 from 5125, we get 845.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 845 and continue: 8458 / 856

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 8458 by 856, we get 9 with a remainder of 754.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1659.0
Deduct 7704 from 8458 and we're left with 754.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 7540 by 856, we get 8 with a remainder of 692.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1659.8
Deduct 6848 from 7540 and we're left with 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6920, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 856 fits into 6920 8 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1659.88
Subtracting 6848 from 6920 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1659.88, and the remainder is 0.072.
