We divide 898983 by 85
We want to figure out the number of times 898983 can be divided by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 85

Step 2:
89 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 85 from 89 to get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
48 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 489 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 489 5 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 105.0
Subtract 425 from 489 to get 64.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 648 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 648 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 53.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1057.0
Deduct 595 from 648 and we're left with 53.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 533 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
85 goes into 533 6 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10576.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 510 from 533.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
230 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10576.2
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 170 from 230.
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:
85 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10576.27
If we take 595 away from 600, we end up with 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 9:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10576.27
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10576.2705
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us 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 11:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10576.27058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left 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 12:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10576.270588
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 10576.270588 and a remainder of 2e-06.
