We're dividing 648146 by 85 
We want to divide 648146 by 85.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
85 goes into 64 0 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 64 to get 64.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 648 / 85

Step 3:
If we divide 648 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 595 from 648 to get 53.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 531 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
531 divided by 85 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we take 510 away from 531, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 214 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
214 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 762.0
If we subtract 170 from 214, we get 44.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 446 / 85

Step 6:
If we divide 446 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 21.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7625.0
Deduct 425 from 446 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7625.2
Subtract 170 from 210 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7625.24
Deduct 340 from 400 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
85 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7625.247
If we subtract 595 from 600, 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.

On to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7625.247
Subtract 0 from 50 to 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 11:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7625.24705
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.

On to step 12:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7625.247058
Subtract 680 from 750 to 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.

On to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7625.2470588
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up with 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 7625.2470588 with a remainder of 2e-07.
