442720 divided by 85 
We want to divide 442720 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
85 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 can be fit into 44 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 44 and we're left with 44.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 442 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 442 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 425 from 442 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 177 / 85

On to step 4:
When dividing 177 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 170 from 177.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 85

Step 5:
85 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 520.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 720 / 85

On to step 6:
85 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5208.0
If we subtract 680 from 720, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
85 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5208.4
If we subtract 340 from 400, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5208.47
Subtract 595 from 600 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5208.47
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
85 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5208.4705
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:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5208.47058
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 680 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 5208.470588
If we subtract 680 from 700, we get 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 5208.470588 with a remainder of 2e-06.
