We're dividing 154724 by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 154724.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 154 / 85

On to step 3:
When dividing 154 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 69.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 85 from 154 to get 69.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 697 / 85

Step 4:
The number 85 fits into 697 8 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 680 from 697 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 goes into 172 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 182.0
Subtracting 170 from 172 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 85

Step 6:
24 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1820.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 goes into 240 2 times with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1820.2
Subtracting 170 from 240 leaves us 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 8:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1820.28
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1820.282
Subtracting 170 from 200 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
85 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1820.2823
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 255 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1820.28235
Subtract 425 from 450 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1820.282352
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1820.2823529
If we subtract 765 from 800, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1820.28235294
If we take 340 away from 350, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 1820.28235294 with a remainder of 1e-08.
