We look at the division of 973801 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 973801 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
97 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 85 from 97 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 goes into 123 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 85 from 123 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 388 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 can be fit into 388 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 114.0
If we take 340 away from 388, we end up with 48.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 480 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
480 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1145.0
Deduct 425 from 480 and we're left with 55.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 551 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 551 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11456.0
Subtract 510 from 551 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 410 4 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11456.4
Deduct 340 from 410 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11456.48
If we subtract 680 from 700, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11456.482
Subtracting 170 from 200 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
85 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11456.4823
Deduct 255 from 300 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 11:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11456.48235
If we take 425 away from 450, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11456.482352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11456.4823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11456.48235294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11456.48235294 with a remaining 1e-08.
