We look at the division of 499243 by 85 
We want to divide 499243 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 85

Step 2:
85 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 499 / 85

Step 3:
When dividing 499 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 425 from 499 and we're left with 74.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 742 / 85

On to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 742 8 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 680 from 742.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 624 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
624 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 587.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 595 from 624.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 293 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
293 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5873.0
If we take 255 away from 293, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
85 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5873.4
If we subtract 340 from 380, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 5873.44
If we subtract 340 from 400, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5873.44 and a remainder of 0.06.
