842901 divided by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 842901.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 84 0 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 84 to get 84.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 842 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 842 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 765 from 842, we get 77.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 779 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 goes into 779 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtracting 765 from 779 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 85

Step 5:
140 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 991.0
If we subtract 85 from 140, we get 55.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 551 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 551 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 41.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9916.0
If we take 510 away from 551, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
410 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 70.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9916.4
If we subtract 340 from 410, we 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:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9916.48
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9916.482
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9916.4823
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:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9916.48235
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9916.482352
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.

Step 13:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9916.4823529
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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9916.48235294
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.

The final outcome is 9916.48235294, with a leftover of 1e-08.
