407542 divided by 85 
We want to divide 407542 by 85.

On to step 1:
85 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 85

Step 2:
If we divide 40 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 407 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 340 from 407 leaves us with 67.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 675 / 85

Step 4:
85 can be fit into 675 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 595 from 675 to get 80.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 80, then repeat: 804 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 804 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 479.0
If we take 765 away from 804, we end up with 39.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 392 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 392 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4794.0
If we take 340 away from 392, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
85 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4794.6
Subtract 510 from 520 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.

Step 8:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4794.61
If we subtract 85 from 100, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4794.611
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 85 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4794.611 with a remaining 0.0065.
