We look at the division of 447217 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 447217 can be divided by 23.

On to step 1:
23 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 23 from 44.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
217 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 10.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 207 away from 217, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 102 / 23

Step 4:
23 goes into 102 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 194.0
Subtracting 92 from 102 leaves us with 10.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 101 / 23

On to step 5:
23 goes into 101 4 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1944.0
If we subtract 92 from 101, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 23

On to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 97 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19444.0
Deduct 92 from 97 and we're left 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 7:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19444.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19444.21
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.

Step 9:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 19444.217
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 161 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19444.2173
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.

Advancing to step 11:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19444.21739
Deduct 207 from 210 and we're left with 3.
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 12:
The number 23 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19444.217391
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 19444.2173913
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 14:
23 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19444.2173913
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 19444.2173913 with a balance of 1e-08.
