480966 ÷ 85 
Our goal is to divide 480966 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 85

On to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 480 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 480 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 425 from 480 leaves us with 55.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 559 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 goes into 559 6 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 510 from 559.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 496 / 85

Step 5:
85 goes into 496 5 times with a remainder of 71.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 565.0
If we take 425 away from 496, we end up with 71.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 716 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
716 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5658.0
Deduct 680 from 716 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 7:
360 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5658.4
Subtract 340 from 360 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5658.42
If we take 170 away from 200, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
300 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5658.423
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 255 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
85 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5658.4235
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5658.42352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5658.423529
Subtract 765 from 800 to get 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 13:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5658.4235294
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5658.42352941
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5658.42352941 and a remainder of 1.5e-08.
