We look at the division of 983787 by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 983787 can be divided by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
85 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 85

Step 2:
85 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 85 from 98, we get 13.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 133 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
133 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 85 from 133 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 487 / 85

Step 4:
When dividing 487 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 62.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 115.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 425 from 487.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 628 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
628 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1157.0
If we take 595 away from 628, we end up with 33.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 337 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
337 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 82.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11573.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 255 from 337.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
85 can be fit into 820 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11573.9
Subtract 765 from 820 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11573.96
Subtracting 510 from 550 leaves us with 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 9:
The number 85 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11573.964
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 340 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 11573.9647
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 595 from 600.
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 11:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11573.9647
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11573.964705
If we take 425 away from 500, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11573.9647058
If we subtract 680 from 750, we 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.

Moving on to step 14:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11573.96470588
Subtract 680 from 700 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 11573.96470588 and a remainder of 2e-08.
