We divide 986691 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 986691 can be divided by 85.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 85 away from 98, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 136 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 goes into 136 1 times with a remainder of 51.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 85 from 136 and we're left with 51.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 516 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 goes into 516 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 116.0
Subtract 510 from 516 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 69 0 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1160.0
If we subtract 0 from 69, we get 69.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 691 / 85

Step 6:
The number 85 fits into 691 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11608.0
If we take 680 away from 691, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11608.1
Subtract 85 from 110 to 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11608.12
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us 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 9:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11608.129
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11608.1294
Subtract 340 from 350 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11608.12941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11608.129411
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11608.129411, and the remainder is 6.5e-06.
