We're dividing 521877 by 85 
We want to divide 521877 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 85

On to step 2:
85 goes into 52 0 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 52, we get 52.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 521 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 521 6 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 510 from 521 leaves us with 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 118 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 85 from 118 to get 33.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 337 / 85

Step 5:
The number 85 fits into 337 3 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 613.0
If we subtract 255 from 337, we get 82.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 82, then carry on: 827 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 827 9 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6139.0
Deduct 765 from 827 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 620 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 25.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6139.7
Subtract 595 from 620 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6139.72
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us with 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:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6139.729
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 765 from 800.
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:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6139.7294
Deduct 340 from 350 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6139.72941
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6139.729411
If we subtract 85 from 150, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6139.729411 with a balance of 6.5e-06.
