We're dividing 543972 by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 543972.

Let's proceed to step 1:
85 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 85

Step 2:
When dividing 54 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 54.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 543 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 543 6 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 510 away from 543, we end up with 33.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 339 / 85

Step 4:
If we divide 339 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 84.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 255 from 339.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 84 and continue: 847 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
85 goes into 847 9 times with a remainder of 82.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 639.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 765 from 847.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 822 / 85

On to step 6:
822 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 57.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6399.0
If we take 765 away from 822, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 570 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 60.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6399.6
If we take 510 away from 570, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6399.67
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6399.67
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.

On to step 10:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6399.6705
Deduct 425 from 500 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6399.67058
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 680 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6399.670588
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 quotient of the division is 6399.670588, and the remainder is 2e-06.
