Let's divide 540121 by 85
Our goal is to divide 540121 by 85.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 85

On to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 540 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 510 away from 540, we end up with 30.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 301 / 85

On to step 4:
301 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 255 away from 301, we end up with 46.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 462 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
85 goes into 462 5 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 635.0
Deduct 425 from 462 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 371 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 371 4 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6354.0
Subtract 340 from 371 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 310 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6354.3
Deduct 255 from 310 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
85 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6354.36
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 60.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6354.364
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:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6354.3647
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6354.3647
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6354.364705
Subtract 425 from 500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6354.3647058
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.

Going ahead 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: 6354.36470588
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6354.36470588 with a balance of 2e-08.
