Let's divide 987710 by 23
Our goal is to divide 987710 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 23

On to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 92 away from 98, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 goes into 67 2 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 46 away from 67, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 217 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 429.0
If we subtract 207 from 217, we get 10.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 101 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 101 4 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4294.0
Subtract 92 from 101 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 90 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42943.0
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.

Step 7:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 42943.9
If we subtract 207 from 210, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42943.91
Subtracting 23 from 30 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42943.913
Deduct 69 from 70 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42943.913
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
23 can be fit into 100 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42943.91304
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left with 8.
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 12:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42943.913043
Subtract 69 from 80 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 42943.9130434
Subtracting 92 from 110 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
180 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42943.91304347
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 42943.91304347 and a remainder of 1.9e-08.
