We're dividing 684973 by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 684973.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 85

On to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 68 leaves us with 68.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 684 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
684 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 680 from 684 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 49 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 80.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 497 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 497 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 805.0
If we take 425 away from 497, we end up with 72.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 723 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
723 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8058.0
Subtract 680 from 723 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
430 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8058.5
If we subtract 425 from 430, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8058.5
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 8058.505
If we subtract 425 from 500, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8058.5058
Subtracting 680 from 750 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8058.50588
Subtract 680 from 700 to get 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 quotient of the division is 8058.50588, and the remainder is 2e-05.
