We look at the division of 495842 by 85 
Our goal is to divide 495842 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 495 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
85 goes into 495 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 425 from 495 leaves us with 70.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 708 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
85 can be fit into 708 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 680 from 708, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 284 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 284 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 583.0
Subtract 255 from 284 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 292 / 85

On to step 6:
85 goes into 292 3 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5833.0
Deduct 255 from 292 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 370 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5833.4
If we subtract 340 from 370, we get 30.
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 8:
If we divide 300 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5833.43
Subtracting 255 from 300 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5833.435
Deduct 425 from 450 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5833.4352
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 800 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5833.43529
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 12:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5833.435294
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5833.4352941
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5833.43529411
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.

Our division results in 5833.43529411 with a remaining 6.5e-08.
