We divide 23878272 by 873
Our goal is to divide 23878272 by 873.

Going ahead to step 1:
873 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 873

Step 2:
When dividing 23 by 873, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 873

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 238 by 873, we get 0 with a remainder of 238.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 238, we end up with 238.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 238 and continue with: 2387 / 873

On to step 4:
If we divide 2387 by 873, we get 2 and a remainder of 641.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1746 away from 2387, we end up with 641.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 641, then repeat: 6418 / 873

Step 5:
873 can be fit into 6418 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 307.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 6111 from 6418 leaves us with 307.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 307, then carry on: 3072 / 873

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 3072 by 873, we get 3 and a remainder of 453.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 273.0
If we take 2619 away from 3072, we end up with 453.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 453, then repeat: 4537 / 873

Moving on to step 7:
873 goes into 4537 5 times with a remainder of 172.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2735.0
If we take 4365 away from 4537, we end up with 172.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 172, then repeat: 1722 / 873

Going ahead to step 8:
873 can be fit into 1722 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 849.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 27351.0
If we subtract 873 from 1722, we get 849.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8490, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 873 fits into 8490 9 times, leaving a remainder of 633.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27351.9
The remainder is 633 after subtracting 7857 from 8490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6330, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 873 fits into 6330 7 times, leaving a remainder of 219.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27351.97
Deduct 6111 from 6330 and we're left with 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
2190 divided by 873 is 2 with a remainder of 444.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 27351.972
Deduct 1746 from 2190 and we're left with 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 4440 by 873, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27351.9725
Subtract 4365 from 4440 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
873 goes into 750 0 times with a remainder of 750.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27351.9725
Deduct 0 from 750 and we're left with 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 7500 by 873, we get 8 with a remainder of 516.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27351.972508
Subtract 6984 from 7500 to get 516.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
873 can be fit into 5160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 795.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27351.9725085
The remainder is 795 after subtracting 4365 from 5160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7950, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 7950 by 873, we get 9 and a remainder of 93.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27351.97250859
If we subtract 7857 from 7950, we get 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 27351.97250859, and the remainder is 9.3e-08.
