Let's divide 715697 by 85
Our goal is to divide 715697 by 85.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 85

Step 2:
When dividing 71 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 71 to get 71.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 715 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
85 can be fit into 715 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 680 from 715 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 356 / 85

On to step 4:
If we divide 356 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84.0
Deduct 340 from 356 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 85

Step 5:
When dividing 169 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 84.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 841.0
If we subtract 85 from 169, we get 84.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 84, then repeat: 847 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 847 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8419.0
Subtracting 765 from 847 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 820 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8419.9
If we take 765 away from 820, 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.

Step 8:
The number 85 fits into 550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8419.96
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8419.964
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8419.9647
Subtracting 595 from 600 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 8419.9647
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.

Step 12:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8419.964705
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.

On to step 13:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8419.9647058
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 680 from 750.
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 14:
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: 8419.96470588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 8419.96470588 with a remainder of 2e-08.
