Let's divide 121718 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 121718 can be divided by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
85 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 121 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 85 away from 121, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 367 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 367 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 27.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 340 away from 367, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 271 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 143.0
Subtracting 255 from 271 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 goes into 168 1 times with a remainder of 83.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1431.0
Subtract 85 from 168 to get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 830 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 65.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1431.9
Deduct 765 from 830 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 650 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1431.97
Subtracting 595 from 650 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
85 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1431.976
If we subtract 510 from 550, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1431.9764
Subtracting 340 from 400 leaves us 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 11:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1431.97647
If we subtract 595 from 600, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
85 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1431.97647
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 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 13:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1431.9764705
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 425 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 14:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1431.97647058
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.

The quotient of the division is 1431.97647058, and the remainder is 7e-08.
