Let's divide 717946 by 85
Our goal is to divide 717946 by 85.

Step 1:
7 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 85

Step 2:
71 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 71.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 71 to get 71.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 717 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 717 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 680 from 717, we get 37.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 379 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 39.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
Deduct 340 from 379 and we're left with 39.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 394 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 394 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 844.0
If we take 340 away from 394, we end up with 54.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 546 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 546 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8446.0
Subtract 510 from 546 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8446.4
Deduct 340 from 360 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8446.42
Subtracting 170 from 200 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
85 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8446.423
Deduct 255 from 300 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8446.4235
If we subtract 425 from 450, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8446.42352
Subtract 170 from 250 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8446.423529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8446.4235294
Deduct 340 from 350 and we're left with 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 14:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8446.42352941
Subtract 85 from 100 to 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.

The final outcome is 8446.42352941, with a leftover of 1.5e-08.
