Let's divide 407653 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 407653 can be divided by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 23

Step 2:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 23 from 40, we get 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
23 goes into 177 7 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 161 from 177, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 can be fit into 166 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtract 161 from 166 to get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 23

On to step 5:
23 goes into 55 2 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1772.0
Subtracting 46 from 55 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 93 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 93 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17724.0
If we subtract 92 from 93, we 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17724.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
23 can be fit into 100 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17724.04
Subtract 92 from 100 to 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 9:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17724.043
If we subtract 69 from 80, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17724.0434
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17724.04347
If we subtract 161 from 180, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 12:
23 can be fit into 190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17724.043478
If we subtract 184 from 190, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17724.0434782
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17724.04347826
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17724.04347826 with a remaining 2e-09.
