Let's divide 899442 by 5
Our goal is to divide 899442 by 5.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 5, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 5 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 5

Moving on to step 2:
39 divided by 5 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 35 from 39 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
49 divided by 5 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we subtract 45 from 49, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 5

On to step 4:
When dividing 44 by 5, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1798.0
Subtract 40 from 44 to get 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 5

Going ahead to step 5:
5 goes into 44 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17988.0
Subtracting 40 from 44 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 5

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 42 by 5, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 179888.0
Deduct 40 from 42 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
20 divided by 5 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 179888.4
If we take 20 away from 20, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179888.4
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179888.4
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 179888.4 and a remainder of 0.0.
