We're dividing 494585 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 494585 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 494 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 494 5 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 425 from 494 to get 69.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 695 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 695 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 680 from 695 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 85

On to step 5:
85 goes into 158 1 times with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 581.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 85 from 158.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 735 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 735 8 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5818.0
If we take 680 away from 735, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 550 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5818.6
If we take 510 away from 550, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
400 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5818.64
If we subtract 340 from 400, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 600 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5818.647
If we subtract 595 from 600, 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5818.647
If we subtract 0 from 50, we 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.

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: 5818.64705
If we take 425 away from 500, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5818.647058
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up 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 13:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5818.6470588
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 final outcome is 5818.6470588, with a leftover of 2e-07.
