We look at the division of 89971 by 85 
We want to divide 89971 by 85.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 goes into 89 1 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 85 from 89 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 49 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 497 / 85

On to step 4:
When dividing 497 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 72.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105.0
Subtracting 425 from 497 leaves us with 72.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 721 / 85

On to step 5:
85 goes into 721 8 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1058.0
If we subtract 680 from 721, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 410 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 70.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1058.4
Subtract 340 from 410 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1058.48
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 85 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1058.482
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
85 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1058.4823
Subtract 255 from 300 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1058.48235
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us 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.

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: 1058.482352
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 170 from 250.
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 12:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1058.4823529
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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 1058.48235294
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.

The final result is 1058.48235294 with a remainder of 1e-08.
