We're dividing 988037 by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 988037 can be divided by 85.

On to step 1:
85 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
98 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 85 from 98.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 138 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 85 from 138 to get 53.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 530 / 85

On to step 4:
530 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 116.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 510 from 530.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 203 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
85 can be fit into 203 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1162.0
Subtracting 170 from 203 leaves us with 33.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 337 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 337 3 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11623.0
Deduct 255 from 337 and we're left with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
85 goes into 820 9 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11623.9
If we subtract 765 from 820, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 550 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11623.96
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 510 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 85 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11623.964
Subtracting 340 from 400 leaves us with 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 10:
When dividing 600 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11623.9647
Deduct 595 from 600 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11623.9647
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11623.964705
If we subtract 425 from 500, we 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.

On to step 13:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11623.9647058
Subtract 680 from 750 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11623.96470588
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 final result is 11623.96470588 with a remainder of 2e-08.
