We're dividing 996784 by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 996784.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 85

On to step 2:
85 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 85 from 99.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 can be fit into 146 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 85 from 146 and we're left with 61.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 617 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 617 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 595 from 617.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 228 / 85

Step 5:
The number 85 fits into 228 2 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1172.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 170 from 228.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 584 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 can be fit into 584 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11726.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 510 from 584.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
740 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11726.8
If we take 680 away from 740, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11726.87
If we take 595 away from 600, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11726.87
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11726.8705
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 11:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11726.87058
Subtract 680 from 750 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11726.870588
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11726.870588 with a balance of 2e-06.
