We're dividing 164841 by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 164841 can be divided by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
85 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 85

On to step 2:
85 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 164 1 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 85 from 164 to get 79.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 79 and continue with: 798 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 goes into 798 9 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 765 away from 798, we end up with 33.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 334 / 85

Step 5:
334 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 193.0
Deduct 255 from 334 and we're left with 79.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 79 and repeat the process: 791 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
85 can be fit into 791 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1939.0
If we take 765 away from 791, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
260 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1939.3
Subtracting 255 from 260 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1939.3
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1939.305
Deduct 425 from 500 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1939.3058
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.

Moving on to step 11:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1939.30588
Subtract 680 from 700 to 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 1939.30588 with a remainder of 2e-05.
