Let's divide 41838724 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 41838724 can be divided by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 85

Step 2:
When dividing 41 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 418 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 418 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 78.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 340 from 418 to get 78.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 783 / 85

Step 4:
85 goes into 783 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 765 from 783 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 188 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 492.0
Subtract 170 from 188 to get 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 85

On to step 6:
If we divide 187 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4922.0
Subtract 170 from 187 to get 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 85

On to step 7:
When dividing 172 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49222.0
Subtracting 170 from 172 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 85

Advancing to step 8:
85 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 492220.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 240 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 70.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 492220.2
If we take 170 away from 240, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 492220.28
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us 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 11:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 492220.282
Subtracting 170 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
300 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 492220.2823
Subtracting 255 from 300 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 492220.28235
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.

Step 14:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 492220.282352
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.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 492220.2823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
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: 492220.28235294
Deduct 340 from 350 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 492220.28235294, and the remainder is 1e-08.
