Let's divide 589858 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 589858.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
58 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 58 leaves us with 58.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 589 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 589 6 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 510 from 589.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 79, then repeat: 798 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 798 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 765 from 798.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 335 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 335 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 80.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 693.0
If we subtract 255 from 335, we get 80.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 80, then repeat: 808 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 808 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6939.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 765 from 808.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
430 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6939.5
If we take 425 away from 430, we end up with 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 8:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6939.5
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6939.505
If we subtract 425 from 500, we 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.

On to step 10:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6939.5058
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6939.50588
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6939.50588 with a balance of 2e-05.
