We look at the division of 734974 by 23 
We want to divide 734974 by 23.

On to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
23 can be fit into 73 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 69 from 73 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 44 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 23 from 44 to get 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 219 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 319.0
If we subtract 207 from 219, we get 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 127 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3195.0
If we subtract 115 from 127, we get 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
23 goes into 124 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31955.0
Subtracting 115 from 124 leaves us 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 7:
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: 31955.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 31955.39
Deduct 207 from 210 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31955.391
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 70 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31955.3913
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.

On to step 11:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31955.3913
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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 12:
100 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31955.391304
If we subtract 92 from 100, we 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31955.3913043
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.

Moving on to step 14:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31955.39130434
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.

The final result is 31955.39130434 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
