Let's divide 501165 by 85
We want to divide 501165 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
50 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 501 / 85

On to step 3:
85 can be fit into 501 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 425 from 501.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 761 / 85

On to step 4:
If we divide 761 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 81.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.0
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 680 from 761.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 81, then carry on: 816 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 816 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 51.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 589.0
If we take 765 away from 816, we end up with 51.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 515 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 goes into 515 6 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5896.0
Subtracting 510 from 515 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5896.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 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 8:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5896.05
If we take 425 away from 500, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5896.058
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5896.0588
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left 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 quotient of the division is 5896.0588, and the remainder is 0.0002.
