389679 divided by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 389679 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 23

Step 2:
When dividing 38 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 23 from 38 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 159 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 138 away from 159, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 216 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 216 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we subtract 207 from 216, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 97 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1694.0
If we subtract 92 from 97, we get 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
23 can be fit into 59 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16942.0
If we take 46 away from 59, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16942.5
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16942.56
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16942.565
If we subtract 115 from 120, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16942.5652
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16942.56521
If we take 23 away from 40, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 170 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16942.565217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 90 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16942.5652173
Subtracting 69 from 90 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16942.56521739
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16942.56521739 with a remaining 3e-09.
