Let's divide 348977 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 348977 can be divided by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 34 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 0 from 34.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 348 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 348 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 340 from 348 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 85

On to step 4:
85 can be fit into 89 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 85 from 89 to get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 85

Moving on to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 410.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 477 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
477 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 52.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4105.0
Deduct 425 from 477 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
85 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4105.6
Subtract 510 from 520 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4105.61
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.

Step 9:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4105.611
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us 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 quotient of the division is 4105.611, and the remainder is 0.0065.
