Let's divide 725717 by 85
Our goal is to divide 725717 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 725 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 725 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 680 from 725 leaves us with 45.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 457 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 can be fit into 457 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtracting 425 from 457 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 321 / 85

On to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 321 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 853.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 255 from 321.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 667 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 goes into 667 7 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8537.0
If we subtract 595 from 667, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 720 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8537.8
Subtract 680 from 720 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8537.84
Deduct 340 from 400 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8537.847
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8537.847
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 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 11:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8537.84705
Subtract 425 from 500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8537.847058
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:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8537.8470588
If we subtract 680 from 700, we 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 quotient of the division is 8537.8470588, and the remainder is 2e-07.
