478595 ÷ 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 478595 can be divided by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 85

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 478 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 478 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 425 from 478, we get 53.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 535 / 85

On to step 4:
If we divide 535 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 510 from 535 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 85

On to step 5:
259 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 563.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 255 from 259.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 45 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5630.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5630.5
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5630.52
Deduct 170 from 250 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5630.529
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.

On 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: 5630.5294
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5630.52941
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
85 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5630.529411
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 final outcome is 5630.529411, with a leftover of 6.5e-06.
