Let's divide 817981 by 85
We want to divide 817981 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 81 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 81 and we're left with 81.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 81 and repeat the process: 817 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 817 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 765 from 817, we get 52.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 529 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 529 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 19.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 96.0
Deduct 510 from 529 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
198 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 962.0
Subtract 170 from 198 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 281 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 281 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9623.0
If we take 255 away from 281, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9623.3
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 255 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9623.3
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9623.305
Subtract 425 from 500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9623.3058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9623.30588
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9623.30588 with a balance of 2e-05.
