We're dividing 997384 by 85 
We want to divide 997384 by 85.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 99 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 85 away from 99, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 147 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 85 from 147, we get 62.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 623 / 85

On to step 4:
85 goes into 623 7 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
Deduct 595 from 623 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 288 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1173.0
If we take 255 away from 288, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 334 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 goes into 334 3 times with a remainder of 79.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11733.0
Subtract 255 from 334 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 can be fit into 790 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11733.9
If we take 765 away from 790, 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11733.92
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11733.929
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 10:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11733.9294
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11733.92941
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11733.929411
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.

The final result is 11733.929411 with a remainder of 6.5e-06.
