396897 divided by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 396897.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 23

Step 2:
If we divide 39 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 23 from 39 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 23

On to step 3:
166 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 161 from 166.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 58 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtract 46 from 58 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
23 goes into 129 5 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1725.0
Subtract 115 from 129 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 23

Step 6:
When dividing 147 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17256.0
Subtract 138 from 147 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17256.3
Deduct 69 from 90 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17256.39
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 207 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17256.391
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 10:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17256.3913
Subtracting 69 from 70 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17256.3913
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17256.391304
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
23 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17256.3913043
If we take 69 away from 80, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17256.39130434
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17256.39130434, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
