Let's divide 463974 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 463974 can be divided by 85.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 85

Step 2:
The number 85 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 463 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 463 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 425 from 463 to get 38.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 389 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 can be fit into 389 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 340 from 389.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 497 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
497 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 545.0
Subtracting 425 from 497 leaves us with 72.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 724 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 724 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5458.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 680 from 724.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
440 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5458.5
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 425 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5458.51
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.

Moving on to step 9:
85 can be fit into 650 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5458.517
If we subtract 595 from 650, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5458.5176
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 510 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5458.51764
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 12:
85 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5458.517647
If we take 595 away from 600, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5458.517647
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 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 14:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5458.51764705
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.

Our division results in 5458.51764705 with a remaining 7.5e-08.
