We look at the division of 589197 by 23 
We want to divide 589197 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
23 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
58 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 46 from 58 to get 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
129 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 115 away from 129, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 141 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 141 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 3.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 256.0
If we subtract 138 from 141, we get 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 39 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2561.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 23 from 39.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
167 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25617.0
If we subtract 161 from 167, we get 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 7:
23 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25617.2
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25617.26
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25617.26
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 25617.2608
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25617.26086
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25617.260869
Subtract 207 from 220 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25617.2608695
If we subtract 115 from 130, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25617.26086956
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 25617.26086956 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
