601208 divided by 85 
Our goal is to divide 601208 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 601 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 601 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 595 from 601.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
85 can be fit into 62 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we subtract 0 from 62, we get 62.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 620 / 85

On to step 5:
85 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 707.0
Subtract 595 from 620 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 258 / 85

On to step 6:
258 divided by 85 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7073.0
If we take 255 away from 258, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
85 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7073.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 85 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7073.03
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
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: 7073.035
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.

Step 10:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7073.0352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7073.03529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7073.035294
Subtract 340 from 350 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7073.0352941
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 14:
85 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7073.03529411
Subtract 85 from 150 to get 65.
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 7073.03529411 with a balance of 6.5e-08.
