We divide 677498 by 85
We want to divide 677498 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 goes into 67 0 times with a remainder of 67.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 67 leaves us with 67.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 677 / 85

On to step 3:
If we divide 677 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 82.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 595 from 677 and we're left with 82.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 824 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 goes into 824 9 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtracting 765 from 824 leaves us with 59.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 599 / 85

Step 5:
85 goes into 599 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 797.0
If we take 595 away from 599, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7970.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 480 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7970.5
Deduct 425 from 480 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7970.56
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 510 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7970.564
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 340 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
85 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7970.5647
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.

On to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7970.5647
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7970.564705
Deduct 425 from 500 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7970.5647058
If we subtract 680 from 750, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7970.56470588
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.

After the division, we end up with 7970.56470588 and a remainder of 2e-08.
