85997 ÷ 89 
Our goal is to divide 85997 by 89.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 89 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 89

Moving on to step 2:
89 can be fit into 85 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 85 to get 85.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 85, then repeat: 859 / 89

Step 3:
When dividing 859 by 89, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 801 from 859.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 589 / 89

On to step 4:
If we divide 589 by 89, we get 6 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 96.0
Deduct 534 from 589 and we're left with 55.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 557 / 89

Going ahead to step 5:
89 goes into 557 6 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 966.0
If we subtract 534 from 557, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
230 divided by 89 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 966.2
If we subtract 178 from 230, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 89 fits into 520 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 966.25
Subtract 445 from 520 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.

Moving on to step 8:
89 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 966.258
Subtracting 712 from 750 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 380 by 89, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 966.2584
If we subtract 356 from 380, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
89 goes into 240 2 times with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 966.25842
Subtract 178 from 240 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
89 can be fit into 620 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 966.258426
Subtract 534 from 620 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
89 can be fit into 860 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 966.2584269
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 801 from 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 590 by 89, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 966.25842696
If we subtract 534 from 590, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 966.25842696 with a remainder of 5.6e-08.
