We divide 873543 by 85
Our goal is to divide 873543 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 85 away from 87, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 235 / 85

Step 4:
85 goes into 235 2 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 102.0
Deduct 170 from 235 and we're left with 65.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 654 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 can be fit into 654 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1027.0
Subtract 595 from 654 to get 59.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 593 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 593 6 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10276.0
Deduct 510 from 593 and we're left with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
85 goes into 830 9 times with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10276.9
Subtract 765 from 830 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 650 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10276.97
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
550 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10276.976
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.

Advancing to step 10:
400 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10276.9764
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.

Moving on to step 11:
85 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10276.97647
Subtracting 595 from 600 leaves us 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:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10276.97647
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 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:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10276.9764705
If we subtract 425 from 500, we 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.

Moving on to step 14:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10276.97647058
If we take 680 away from 750, 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.

The quotient of the division is 10276.97647058, and the remainder is 7e-08.
