406596 ÷ 85 
Our goal is to divide 406596 by 85.

Advancing 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
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
40 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 406 / 85

On to step 3:
85 can be fit into 406 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 340 from 406, we get 66.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 665 / 85

On to step 4:
665 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 595 from 665 to get 70.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 709 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 709 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 478.0
Deduct 680 from 709 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 296 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4783.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 255 from 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 goes into 410 4 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4783.4
Deduct 340 from 410 and we're left 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.

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: 4783.48
Subtract 680 from 700 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4783.482
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 170 from 200.
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 10:
300 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4783.4823
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.

Advancing to step 11:
85 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4783.48235
If we take 425 away from 450, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4783.482352
Subtract 170 from 250 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4783.4823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4783.48235294
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 4783.48235294 with a remaining 1e-08.
