We're dividing 479876 by 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 479876.

Let's proceed to step 1:
23 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 47, we get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 23

On to step 3:
When dividing 19 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 198 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 208.0
If we subtract 184 from 198, we get 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 147 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 9.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2086.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 138 from 147.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 96 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20864.0
If we subtract 92 from 96, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20864.1
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20864.17
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 161 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 20864.173
Deduct 69 from 90 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20864.1739
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20864.17391
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 70 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20864.173913
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.

Advancing to step 13:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20864.173913
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 100 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20864.17391304
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.

After the division, we end up with 20864.17391304 and a remainder of 8e-09.
