885985 divided by 85 
We want to divide 885985 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 85

Step 2:
If we divide 88 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 85 from 88, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 0 from 35.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 359 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 359 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 19.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 104.0
Deduct 340 from 359 and we're left with 19.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 198 / 85

On to step 5:
85 can be fit into 198 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1042.0
Subtracting 170 from 198 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 285 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 285 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 30.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10423.0
Subtracting 255 from 285 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.

Step 7:
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: 10423.3
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 255 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
85 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10423.35
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10423.352
If we subtract 170 from 250, we 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 10:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10423.3529
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 765 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10423.35294
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10423.352941
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.

On to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10423.3529411
Deduct 85 from 150 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final result is 10423.3529411 with a remainder of 6.5e-07.
