Let's divide 977331 by 23
We want to divide 977331 by 23.

On to step 1:
23 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 23

Step 2:
97 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 92 from 97, we get 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
23 can be fit into 57 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 46 away from 57, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 113 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 goes into 113 4 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 424.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 92 from 113.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 213 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 213 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4249.0
If we take 207 away from 213, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 23

Step 6:
61 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42492.0
Deduct 46 from 61 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
23 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42492.6
Subtract 138 from 150 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42492.65
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 115 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42492.652
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left with 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 10:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42492.6521
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42492.65217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
23 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42492.652173
Subtract 69 from 90 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42492.6521739
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 207 from 210.
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 14:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42492.65217391
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.

After the division, we end up with 42492.65217391 and a remainder of 7e-09.
