Let's divide 874401 by 23
Our goal is to divide 874401 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
23 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 goes into 87 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 69 from 87 to get 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
184 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 184 from 184 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 23

On to step 4:
23 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 380.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3801.0
Subtracting 23 from 40 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 171 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
23 goes into 171 7 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 38017.0
If we subtract 161 from 171, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38017.4
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 38017.43
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.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 38017.434
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38017.4347
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
190 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38017.43478
Subtracting 184 from 190 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38017.434782
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.

Advancing to step 13:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38017.4347826
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 38017.4347826
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 38017.4347826 with a remainder of 2e-08.
