439589 divided by 85 
We want to divide 439589 by 85.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
43 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 43.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 43 to get 43.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 439 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 439 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 425 from 439.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 145 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 goes into 145 1 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we take 85 away from 145, we end up with 60.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 608 / 85

Step 5:
The number 85 fits into 608 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 517.0
If we subtract 595 from 608, we get 13.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 139 / 85

Step 6:
If we divide 139 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5171.0
Subtracting 85 from 139 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
540 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5171.6
If we subtract 510 from 540, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5171.63
Subtract 255 from 300 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 450 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5171.635
Deduct 425 from 450 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5171.6352
Subtract 170 from 250 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5171.63529
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us 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 12:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5171.635294
Subtract 340 from 350 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.

On to step 13:
85 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5171.6352941
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 15.
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 14:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5171.63529411
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5171.63529411 with a balance of 6.5e-08.
