Let's divide 742497 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 742497.

Step 1:
85 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 85

On to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 0 from 74.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 742 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 742 8 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 680 from 742.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 624 / 85

Step 4:
The number 85 fits into 624 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87.0
If we subtract 595 from 624, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 299 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 873.0
Deduct 255 from 299 and we're left with 44.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 447 / 85

On to step 6:
If we divide 447 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8735.0
Subtracting 425 from 447 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 220 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8735.2
Subtracting 170 from 220 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8735.25
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 425 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8735.258
If we subtract 680 from 750, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8735.2588
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 8735.2588, with a leftover of 0.0002.
