Let's divide 12770 by 23
We want to divide 12770 by 23.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 23

On to step 2:
23 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 23

Step 3:
23 goes into 127 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 115 from 127 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 127 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 115 from 127 to get 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 555.0
Subtract 115 from 120 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 555.2
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 555.21
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 8:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 555.217
Subtracting 161 from 170 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.

On to step 9:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 555.2173
If we subtract 69 from 90, we 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 555.21739
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 555.217391
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 70 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 555.2173913
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 13:
23 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 555.2173913
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Our division results in 555.2173913 with a remaining 1e-08.
