We're dividing 618989 by 85 
We want to divide 618989 by 85.

Step 1:
The number 85 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 can be fit into 61 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 0 from 61.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 618 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 618 by 85, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 595 from 618, we get 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 239 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 170 from 239 leaves us with 69.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 698 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 698 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 728.0
Subtract 680 from 698 to get 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 189 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7282.0
Subtracting 170 from 189 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7282.2
Subtract 170 from 190 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7282.22
Subtract 170 from 200 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7282.22, with a leftover of 0.03.
