We divide 478836 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 478836.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 85

Step 3:
478 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 425 from 478 to get 53.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 538 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 538 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 510 from 538, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 283 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 can be fit into 283 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 563.0
Subtract 255 from 283 to get 28.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 286 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
286 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5633.0
Deduct 255 from 286 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 55.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5633.3
If we subtract 255 from 310, 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 8:
When dividing 550 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5633.36
If we take 510 away from 550, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
85 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5633.364
If we subtract 340 from 400, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5633.3647
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.

On to step 11:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5633.3647
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5633.364705
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5633.3647058
If we subtract 680 from 750, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5633.36470588
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.

After the division, we end up with 5633.36470588 and a remainder of 2e-08.
