We're dividing 398929 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 398929 by 85.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
85 goes into 398 4 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 340 from 398.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 589 / 85

On to step 4:
When dividing 589 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 79.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Deduct 510 from 589 and we're left with 79.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 79 and continue: 792 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 792 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 469.0
If we take 765 away from 792, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 85

Step 6:
85 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4693.0
If we take 255 away from 279, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 240 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4693.2
Subtracting 170 from 240 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4693.28
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4693.282
If we subtract 170 from 200, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
85 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4693.2823
Subtract 255 from 300 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4693.28235
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 250 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4693.282352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4693.2823529
Subtract 765 from 800 to 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.

Step 14:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4693.28235294
Deduct 340 from 350 and we're left 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 quotient of the division is 4693.28235294, and the remainder is 1e-08.
