Let's divide 881983 by 85
Our goal is to divide 881983 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
85 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 85

On to step 2:
85 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 85 from 88 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 85

On to step 3:
31 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 319 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 103.0
Deduct 255 from 319 and we're left with 64.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 648 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 648 7 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1037.0
Subtracting 595 from 648 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 533 / 85

Step 6:
The number 85 fits into 533 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10376.0
Subtracting 510 from 533 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10376.2
Subtract 170 from 230 to get 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 8:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10376.27
If we subtract 595 from 600, we 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.

On to step 9:
50 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10376.27
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.

Step 10:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10376.2705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10376.27058
Subtract 680 from 750 to get 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 12:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10376.270588
If we subtract 680 from 700, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 10376.270588 and a remainder of 2e-06.
