We divide 157444 by 23
Our goal is to divide 157444 by 23.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
157 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 138 away from 157, we end up with 19.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 194 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 194 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtracting 184 from 194 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
23 can be fit into 104 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 684.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 92 from 104.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 23

Step 6:
23 can be fit into 124 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6845.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 115 from 124.
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 7:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6845.3
If we take 69 away from 90, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6845.39
Subtracting 207 from 210 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6845.391
Deduct 23 from 30 and we're left 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 10:
The number 23 fits into 70 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6845.3913
If we subtract 69 from 70, we get 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.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6845.3913
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 12:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6845.391304
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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 6845.3913043
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:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6845.39130434
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up 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.

The final result is 6845.39130434 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
