Let's divide 718868 by 85
We want to divide 718868 by 85.

On to step 1:
85 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
85 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 71 and we're left with 71.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 718 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
718 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 680 from 718 to get 38.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 388 / 85

On to step 4:
388 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
Subtracting 340 from 388 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 486 / 85

On to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 486 5 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 845.0
Subtracting 425 from 486 leaves us with 61.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 618 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
618 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8457.0
Subtract 595 from 618 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8457.2
Deduct 170 from 230 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
600 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8457.27
Subtract 595 from 600 to 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.

Step 9:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8457.27
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8457.2705
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 425 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 11:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8457.27058
If we subtract 680 from 750, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8457.270588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8457.270588, and the remainder is 2e-06.
