494699 ÷ 85 
We want to divide 494699 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
85 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 494 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 494 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 425 from 494 and we're left with 69.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 696 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 696 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 680 from 696 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 85

On to step 5:
85 goes into 169 1 times with a remainder of 84.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 581.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 85 from 169.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 849 / 85

On to step 6:
85 can be fit into 849 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5819.0
If we take 765 away from 849, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 goes into 840 9 times with a remainder of 75.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5819.9
If we take 765 away from 840, we end up with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5819.98
Deduct 680 from 750 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5819.988
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 5819.988, with a leftover of 0.002.
