We're dividing 372542 by 85 
We want to divide 372542 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
85 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
37 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 37 to get 37.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 372 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 372 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 340 from 372, we get 32.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 325 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 goes into 325 3 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 255 from 325, we get 70.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 704 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 704 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 438.0
If we take 680 away from 704, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
242 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4382.0
Deduct 170 from 242 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4382.8
If we take 680 away from 720, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4382.84
If we take 340 away from 400, 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.

Step 9:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4382.847
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4382.847
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4382.84705
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 425 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4382.847058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left with 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 13:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4382.8470588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
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 4382.8470588, with a leftover of 2e-07.
