Let's divide 972679 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 972679 can be divided by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 85 from 97.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 122 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
122 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 85 from 122, we get 37.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 376 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 can be fit into 376 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 114.0
Deduct 340 from 376 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 367 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
367 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1144.0
If we subtract 340 from 367, we get 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 85

Step 6:
85 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11443.0
If we take 255 away from 279, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11443.2
Subtract 170 from 240 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.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 11443.28
Subtract 680 from 700 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11443.282
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 10:
When dividing 300 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11443.2823
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11443.28235
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11443.282352
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11443.2823529
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 14:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11443.28235294
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11443.28235294 with a balance of 1e-08.
