408479 ÷ 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 408479.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 85

On to step 2:
40 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 408 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 408 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 340 from 408 and we're left with 68.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 684 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 goes into 684 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 680 from 684 to get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 47 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 480.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 479 / 85

On to step 6:
When dividing 479 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 54.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4805.0
Subtracting 425 from 479 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4805.6
Deduct 510 from 540 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
300 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4805.63
Deduct 255 from 300 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4805.635
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4805.6352
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 800 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4805.63529
If we subtract 765 from 800, we 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4805.635294
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4805.6352941
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4805.63529411
Deduct 85 from 150 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4805.63529411 with a balance of 6.5e-08.
