Let's divide 762171 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 762171.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 85

On to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 76 0 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 76, we get 76.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 76 and continue: 762 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 762 8 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 680 from 762 to get 82.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 82, then carry on: 821 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 goes into 821 9 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we subtract 765 from 821, we get 56.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 567 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 567 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 896.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 510 from 567.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 571 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 571 6 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8966.0
Subtract 510 from 571 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 goes into 610 7 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8966.7
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 595 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 8:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8966.71
If we subtract 85 from 150, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 650 7 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8966.717
If we subtract 595 from 650, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
85 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8966.7176
Deduct 510 from 550 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
85 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8966.71764
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8966.717647
Subtract 595 from 600 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8966.717647
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.

On to step 14:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8966.71764705
Subtract 425 from 500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8966.71764705 with a remaining 7.5e-08.
