We divide 146383 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 146383.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 146 / 85

On to step 3:
When dividing 146 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 61.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 85 from 146 leaves us with 61.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 613 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 613 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 595 from 613 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
85 can be fit into 188 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 172.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 170 from 188.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 183 / 85

On to step 6:
When dividing 183 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1722.0
If we subtract 170 from 183, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 130 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1722.1
If we subtract 85 from 130, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
85 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1722.15
Deduct 425 from 450 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1722.152
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1722.1529
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 11:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1722.15294
If we take 340 away from 350, we end up 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 12:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1722.152941
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 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 13:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1722.1529411
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 1722.1529411 with a balance of 6.5e-07.
