479991 ÷ 85 
Our goal is to divide 479991 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 479 5 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 425 from 479, we get 54.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 549 / 85

Step 4:
The number 85 fits into 549 6 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 510 from 549.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 399 / 85

On to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 399 4 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 564.0
If we take 340 away from 399, we end up with 59.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 591 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 591 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5646.0
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 510 from 591.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 810 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 45.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5646.9
If we take 765 away from 810, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5646.95
If we subtract 425 from 450, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5646.952
Subtract 170 from 250 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5646.9529
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5646.95294
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:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5646.952941
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5646.9529411
If we take 85 away from 150, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final result is 5646.9529411 with a remainder of 6.5e-07.
