982585 ÷ 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 982585 can be divided by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 85

On to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 85 from 98 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 132 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 132 1 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 85 from 132 leaves us with 47.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 475 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 can be fit into 475 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 115.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 425 from 475.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 508 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 508 5 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1155.0
Subtract 425 from 508 to get 83.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 83, then repeat: 835 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 can be fit into 835 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11559.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 765 from 835.
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 7:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11559.8
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 8:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11559.82
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 170 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11559.823
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
85 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11559.8235
If we subtract 425 from 450, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11559.82352
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 170 from 250.
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 12:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11559.823529
Subtract 765 from 800 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11559.8235294
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11559.82352941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 11559.82352941 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
