Let's divide 146836 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 146836.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 146 / 85

On to step 3:
If we divide 146 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 85 from 146 to get 61.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 618 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 goes into 618 7 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 595 from 618 leaves us with 23.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 233 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 233 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtract 170 from 233 to get 63.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 636 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 636 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1727.0
Deduct 595 from 636 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 410 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 70.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1727.4
Deduct 340 from 410 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1727.48
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
85 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1727.482
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1727.4823
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1727.48235
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1727.482352
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1727.4823529
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 14:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1727.48235294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1727.48235294 with a balance of 1e-08.
