We divide 518471 by 85
We want to divide 518471 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 51 to get 51.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
85 goes into 518 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 510 away from 518, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 84 0 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtracting 0 from 84 leaves us with 84.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 84, then carry on: 847 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 847 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 82.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 609.0
If we take 765 away from 847, we end up with 82.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 821 / 85

Step 6:
85 can be fit into 821 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6099.0
Subtracting 765 from 821 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
560 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 50.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6099.6
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 510 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6099.65
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6099.658
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6099.6588
If we subtract 680 from 700, we get 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 6099.6588, with a leftover of 0.0002.
