We divide 687727 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 687727.

On to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 68, we get 68.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 687 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 687 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 680 from 687, we get 7.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 77 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 77.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
Subtracting 0 from 77 leaves us with 77.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 77 and repeat the process: 772 / 85

Step 5:
When dividing 772 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 809.0
Subtracting 765 from 772 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 77 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 77.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8090.0
If we take 0 away from 77, we end up with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 770 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8090.9
Subtract 765 from 770 to 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 8:
50 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8090.9
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8090.905
Deduct 425 from 500 and we're left 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 10:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8090.9058
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.

Advancing to step 11:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8090.90588
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 8090.90588, and the remainder is 2e-05.
