145971 divided by 85 
We want to divide 145971 by 85.

Step 1:
85 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 85

On to step 2:
85 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 145 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
145 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 85 from 145.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 609 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 609 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 595 from 609.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 147 / 85

Step 5:
If we divide 147 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 85 from 147.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 621 / 85

On to step 6:
When dividing 621 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1717.0
If we take 595 away from 621, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1717.3
Deduct 255 from 260 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1717.3
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.

Moving on to step 9:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1717.305
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
85 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1717.3058
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1717.30588
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1717.30588, and the remainder is 2e-05.
