404479 ÷ 85 
Our goal is to divide 404479 by 85.

On to step 1:
85 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 85

Step 3:
When dividing 404 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 340 away from 404, we end up with 64.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 644 / 85

On to step 4:
85 goes into 644 7 times with a remainder of 49.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 595 away from 644, we end up with 49.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 497 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 497 5 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 475.0
Deduct 425 from 497 and we're left with 72.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 729 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
729 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4758.0
Subtract 680 from 729 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4758.5
Deduct 425 from 490 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
650 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4758.57
Subtracting 595 from 650 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 550 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4758.576
If we subtract 510 from 550, we get 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 10:
400 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4758.5764
If we subtract 340 from 400, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4758.57647
If we subtract 595 from 600, we get 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 12:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4758.57647
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 500 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4758.5764705
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.

Step 14:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4758.57647058
Deduct 680 from 750 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.

The quotient of the division is 4758.57647058, and the remainder is 7e-08.
