We divide 549857 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 549857 can be divided by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 85

Step 2:
85 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 54 leaves us with 54.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 549 / 85

Step 3:
549 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 510 from 549 and we're left with 39.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 398 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
398 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtract 340 from 398 to get 58.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 585 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 585 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 75.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 646.0
Subtract 510 from 585 to get 75.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 75 and repeat the process: 757 / 85

On to step 6:
When dividing 757 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 77.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6468.0
Subtracting 680 from 757 leaves us with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 770 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6468.9
Subtracting 765 from 770 leaves us 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:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6468.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6468.905
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.

Step 10:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6468.9058
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:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6468.90588
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us with 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 6468.90588, and the remainder is 2e-05.
