Let's divide 627971 by 23
Our goal is to divide 627971 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
23 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 62 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 can be fit into 62 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 46 from 62 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 goes into 167 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 161 from 167 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 23

Step 4:
The number 23 fits into 69 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 273.0
If we take 69 away from 69, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 23

On to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2730.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 23

On to step 6:
If we divide 71 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27303.0
Deduct 69 from 71 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27303.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27303.08
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 27303.086
Deduct 138 from 160 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 10:
If we divide 220 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27303.0869
If we subtract 207 from 220, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
130 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 27303.08695
Subtract 115 from 130 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27303.086956
Subtracting 138 from 150 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27303.0869565
Deduct 115 from 120 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 14:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27303.08695652
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 27303.08695652, with a leftover of 4e-09.
