We look at the division of 145420 by 85 
We want to divide 145420 by 85.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 145 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
145 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 85 from 145 to get 60.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 604 / 85

On to step 4:
When dividing 604 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 595 from 604 to get 9.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 92 / 85

On to step 5:
When dividing 92 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Deduct 85 from 92 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 70 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1710.0
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up 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 7:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1710.8
Subtract 680 from 700 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1710.82
Subtract 170 from 200 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1710.823
If we take 255 away from 300, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1710.8235
If we take 425 away from 450, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1710.82352
If we subtract 170 from 250, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 800 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1710.823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1710.8235294
Subtract 340 from 350 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1710.82352941
If we take 85 away from 100, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1710.82352941 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
