We're dividing 144383 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 144383 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 85

Step 2:
If we divide 14 by 85, we get 0 and 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.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 144 1 times with a remainder of 59.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 85 from 144.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 593 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 593 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 83.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 510 from 593 and we're left with 83.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 83 and continue: 838 / 85

On to step 5:
85 goes into 838 9 times with a remainder of 73.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we subtract 765 from 838, we get 73.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 733 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 goes into 733 8 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1698.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 680 from 733.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 can be fit into 530 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1698.6
If we subtract 510 from 530, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
200 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1698.62
If we subtract 170 from 200, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
300 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1698.623
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
85 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1698.6235
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1698.62352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up 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.

Step 12:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1698.623529
Subtract 765 from 800 to 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.

Advancing to step 13:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1698.6235294
Deduct 340 from 350 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1698.62352941
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1698.62352941 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
