Let's divide 123893 by 85
Our goal is to divide 123893 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
85 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
85 goes into 123 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 85 from 123 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 388 / 85

On to step 4:
388 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 340 from 388.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 489 / 85

Step 5:
If we divide 489 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtracting 425 from 489 leaves us with 64.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 643 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 643 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1457.0
If we subtract 595 from 643, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
480 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1457.5
If we take 425 away from 480, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
550 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1457.56
If we take 510 away from 550, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1457.564
Subtracting 340 from 400 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 600 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1457.5647
If we subtract 595 from 600, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1457.5647
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1457.564705
Deduct 425 from 500 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1457.5647058
Subtract 680 from 750 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.

On to step 14:
85 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1457.56470588
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.

Our division results in 1457.56470588 with a remaining 2e-08.
