Let's divide 437214 by 85
Our goal is to divide 437214 by 85.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 goes into 43 0 times with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 43 leaves us with 43.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 437 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 437 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 425 away from 437, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 122 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 can be fit into 122 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 85 from 122 to get 37.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 371 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
85 goes into 371 4 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 514.0
If we subtract 340 from 371, we get 31.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 314 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 314 3 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5143.0
Deduct 255 from 314 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 590 6 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5143.6
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 510 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5143.69
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us with 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 9:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5143.694
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5143.6941
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5143.69411
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5143.69411 with a remaining 6.5e-05.
