4711 ÷ 85 
We want to divide 4711 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 471 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
471 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 46.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 425 from 471.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 461 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 can be fit into 461 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 425 from 461, we get 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 5:
When dividing 360 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.4
Deduct 340 from 360 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.

On to step 6:
200 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.42
If we subtract 170 from 200, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.423
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.4235
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.

On to step 9:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.42352
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 170 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.423529
If we subtract 765 from 800, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.4235294
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 55.42352941
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 55.42352941 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
