We divide 41693 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 41693.

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
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 85

On to step 2:
85 can be fit into 41 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 41 to get 41.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 416 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 416 4 times with a remainder of 76.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 340 from 416 to get 76.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 76 and continue: 769 / 85

On to step 4:
When dividing 769 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 765 from 769 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 43 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 490.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 0 from 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 490.5
If we subtract 425 from 430, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 490.5
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 490.505
If we take 425 away from 500, we end up with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 9:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 490.5058
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 490.50588
If we subtract 680 from 700, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 490.50588 with a remainder of 2e-05.
