We divide 850517 by 23
Our goal is to divide 850517 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
85 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 69 from 85 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 160 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 225 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 225 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 369.0
If we take 207 away from 225, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 181 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 181 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3697.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 161 from 181.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 207 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 207 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36979.0
Subtract 207 from 207 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36979.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
23 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36979.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 36979.0 with a balance of 0.0.
