Let's divide 155699 by 23
Our goal is to divide 155699 by 23.

On to step 1:
23 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 23

Step 2:
If we divide 15 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 155 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 goes into 155 6 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 138 from 155.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 176 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 176 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
Subtracting 161 from 176 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 23

On to step 5:
When dividing 159 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 676.0
Deduct 138 from 159 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 219 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
219 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6769.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 207 from 219.
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 7:
If we divide 120 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6769.5
If we take 115 away from 120, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6769.52
Subtract 46 from 50 to 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.

Step 9:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6769.521
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6769.5217
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.

Step 11:
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: 6769.52173
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6769.521739
Subtracting 207 from 210 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6769.5217391
If we subtract 23 from 30, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6769.52173913
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.

The final result is 6769.52173913 with a remainder of 1e-09.
