We look at the division of 145231 by 85 
We want to divide 145231 by 85.

Step 1:
85 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 145 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 145 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 85 from 145.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 602 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 goes into 602 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 595 away from 602, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
85 goes into 73 0 times with a remainder of 73.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 0 from 73.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 731 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 can be fit into 731 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1708.0
If we subtract 680 from 731, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 510 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1708.6
Deduct 510 from 510 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1708.6
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1708.6
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1708.6 and a remainder of 0.0.
