We divide 372977 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 372977 can be divided by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
23 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 23

On to step 2:
If we divide 37 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 23 from 37 to get 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 23

Step 3:
142 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 138 away from 142, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 goes into 49 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 162.0
Subtract 46 from 49 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 23

On to step 5:
23 can be fit into 37 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1621.0
Subtracting 23 from 37 leaves us with 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.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16216.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 138 from 147.
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 7:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16216.3
If we subtract 69 from 90, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 210 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16216.39
If we subtract 207 from 210, we 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16216.391
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 23 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 70 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16216.3913
Subtract 69 from 70 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 11:
23 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16216.3913
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16216.391304
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing 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: 16216.3913043
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16216.39130434
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16216.39130434 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
