48862 divided by 85 
We want to divide 48862 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
85 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 488 5 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 425 from 488.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 636 / 85

On to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 636 7 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 595 from 636 to get 41.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 412 / 85

Step 5:
The number 85 fits into 412 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 574.0
If we subtract 340 from 412, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 720 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 574.8
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 680 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 574.84
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 340 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 600 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 574.847
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 574.847
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 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 10:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 574.84705
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.

Step 11:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 574.847058
Subtracting 680 from 750 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 12:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 574.8470588
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 574.8470588 with a remaining 2e-07.
