499722 divided by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 499722 can be divided by 85.

On to step 1:
85 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 85

Step 2:
85 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 499 / 85

On to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 499 5 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 425 from 499 leaves us with 74.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 747 / 85

On to step 4:
If we divide 747 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
Deduct 680 from 747 and we're left with 67.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 672 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
85 goes into 672 7 times with a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 587.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 595 from 672.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 77 and continue with: 772 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
772 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5879.0
If we take 765 away from 772, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5879.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5879.08
Deduct 680 from 700 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5879.082
Deduct 170 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5879.0823
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
85 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5879.08235
Subtract 425 from 450 to 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 12:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5879.082352
If we subtract 170 from 250, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 800 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5879.0823529
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5879.08235294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we get 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 5879.08235294, and the remainder is 1e-08.
