We look at the division of 731946 by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 731946.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 73 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 73.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 73, we get 73.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 731 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
85 can be fit into 731 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 680 from 731.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 519 / 85

Step 4:
519 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtracting 510 from 519 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
94 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 861.0
Subtracting 85 from 94 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 85

Step 6:
85 can be fit into 96 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8611.0
If we subtract 85 from 96, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8611.1
If we take 85 away from 110, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8611.12
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8611.129
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8611.1294
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8611.12941
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8611.129411
If we take 85 away from 150, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8611.129411, with a leftover of 6.5e-06.
