Let's divide 731779 by 85
Our goal is to divide 731779 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
85 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in 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

Step 2:
85 can be fit into 73 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 731 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
85 goes into 731 8 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 680 from 731 to get 51.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 517 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
517 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we take 510 away from 517, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 77 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 77.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 860.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 0 from 77.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 779 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
779 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8609.0
Deduct 765 from 779 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8609.1
Subtracting 85 from 140 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 8:
85 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8609.16
Subtract 510 from 550 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8609.164
Subtract 340 from 400 to get 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 10:
If we divide 600 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8609.1647
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.

Step 11:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8609.1647
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 500 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8609.164705
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8609.1647058
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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8609.16470588
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up 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 final outcome is 8609.16470588, with a leftover of 2e-08.
