Let's divide 156804 by 85
Our goal is to divide 156804 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 156 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 156 1 times with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 85 from 156 leaves us with 71.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 718 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 718 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 680 from 718.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 380 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 85 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 184.0
Subtracting 340 from 380 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 404 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
404 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1844.0
Deduct 340 from 404 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 7:
85 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1844.7
Subtracting 595 from 640 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1844.75
Subtract 425 from 450 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1844.752
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1844.7529
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1844.75294
If we take 340 away from 350, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1844.752941
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1844.7529411
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 85 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1844.7529411 with a balance of 6.5e-07.
