We divide 916908 by 85
We want to divide 916908 by 85.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 91 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 85 away from 91, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 66 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 66 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 66.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 66 to get 66.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 669 / 85

On to step 4:
If we divide 669 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 107.0
Subtract 595 from 669 to get 74.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 740 / 85

On to step 5:
85 can be fit into 740 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1078.0
Deduct 680 from 740 and we're left with 60.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 608 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 goes into 608 7 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10787.0
Subtract 595 from 608 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 130 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10787.1
If we subtract 85 from 130, 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 8:
If we divide 450 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10787.15
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10787.152
If we subtract 170 from 250, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10787.1529
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10787.15294
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 10787.152941
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10787.1529411
Deduct 85 from 150 and we're left 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 10787.1529411 with a remaining 6.5e-07.
