We're dividing 118938 by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 118938.

On to step 1:
85 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 11 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
85 goes into 118 1 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 85 from 118 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 339 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 84.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 255 from 339.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 84 and continue with: 843 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 can be fit into 843 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 139.0
Subtract 765 from 843 to get 78.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 788 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 can be fit into 788 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1399.0
Subtracting 765 from 788 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1399.2
If we subtract 170 from 230, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 8:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1399.27
Subtract 595 from 600 to 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.

Step 9:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1399.27
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1399.2705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1399.27058
Subtract 680 from 750 to 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 12:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1399.270588
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1399.270588 with a balance of 2e-06.
