We look at the division of 52472 by 85 
We want to divide 52472 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 85

On to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 52 0 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 52 leaves us with 52.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 524 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 can be fit into 524 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 510 from 524 to get 14.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 147 / 85

Step 4:
If we divide 147 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 85 from 147 leaves us with 62.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 622 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
85 goes into 622 7 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 617.0
Deduct 595 from 622 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 270 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 617.3
If we take 255 away from 270, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
85 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 617.31
Deduct 85 from 150 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 8:
85 can be fit into 650 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 617.317
Subtract 595 from 650 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
85 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 617.3176
Subtracting 510 from 550 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
400 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 617.31764
Subtract 340 from 400 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
85 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 617.317647
Deduct 595 from 600 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 617.317647
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 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 13:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 617.31764705
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.

The final outcome is 617.31764705, with a leftover of 7.5e-08.
