734972 divided by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 734972 can be divided by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 73 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 73.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 73, we end up with 73.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 734 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
85 can be fit into 734 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 680 from 734.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 549 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 goes into 549 6 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtracting 510 from 549 leaves us with 39.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 397 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 397 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 864.0
If we subtract 340 from 397, we get 57.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 572 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 572 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8646.0
Deduct 510 from 572 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8646.7
If we subtract 595 from 620, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8646.72
If we subtract 170 from 250, we get 80.
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:
If we divide 800 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8646.729
Deduct 765 from 800 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
85 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8646.7294
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8646.72941
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8646.729411
Deduct 85 from 150 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.

The quotient of the division is 8646.729411, and the remainder is 6.5e-06.
