471867 ÷ 23 
We want to divide 471867 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 47 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 46 from 47.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 23

On to step 3:
When dividing 11 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 118 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 205.0
If we subtract 115 from 118, we get 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 36 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2051.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 23 from 36.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 137 / 23

Step 6:
When dividing 137 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20515.0
Deduct 115 from 137 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20515.9
If we take 207 away from 220, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20515.95
If we subtract 115 from 130, we get 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 9:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20515.956
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 10:
23 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20515.9565
If we take 115 away from 120, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20515.95652
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20515.956521
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20515.9565217
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20515.95652173
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 69 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20515.95652173 with a balance of 2.1e-08.
