We divide 38311 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 38311 can be divided by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 85

Step 2:
If we divide 38 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 38, we get 38.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 383 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
85 can be fit into 383 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 340 from 383.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 431 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 goes into 431 5 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 425 from 431 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 85

On to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 450.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
610 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 450.7
If we subtract 595 from 610, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 450.71
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 650 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 55.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 450.717
If we take 595 away from 650, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
550 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 450.7176
Subtracting 510 from 550 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 450.71764
If we subtract 340 from 400, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 450.717647
Subtracting 595 from 600 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 450.717647
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 450.71764705
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 425 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

The final result is 450.71764705 with a remainder of 7.5e-08.
