We look at the division of 88979 by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 88979.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 88 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 85 from 88, we get 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 39 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 39 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 397 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 397 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we subtract 340 from 397, we get 57.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 579 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 579 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1046.0
If we subtract 510 from 579, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 690 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1046.8
If we take 680 away from 690, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1046.81
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up with 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 8:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1046.811
If we subtract 85 from 150, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1046.811 with a remaining 0.0065.
