We're dividing 451961 by 85 
We want to divide 451961 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 can be fit into 45 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, we get 45.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 451 / 85

Step 3:
451 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 26.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 425 from 451 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 85

On to step 4:
85 goes into 269 3 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtract 255 from 269 to get 14.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 146 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 146 1 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 531.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 85 from 146.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 611 / 85

Step 6:
85 can be fit into 611 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5317.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 595 from 611.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 160 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5317.1
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 85 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 8:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5317.18
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5317.188
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 5317.188 with a remainder of 0.002.
