We divide 648044 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 648044.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 85

On to step 2:
If we divide 64 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 64 to get 64.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 648 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
648 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 595 from 648.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 530 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtracting 510 from 530 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
204 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 762.0
Deduct 170 from 204 and we're left with 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 344 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7624.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 340 from 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7624.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7624.04
Subtracting 340 from 400 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
85 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7624.047
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 595 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
50 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7624.047
Subtracting 0 from 50 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.

Moving on to step 11:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7624.04705
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 750 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7624.047058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7624.0470588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
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 result is 7624.0470588 with a remainder of 2e-07.
