We look at the division of 512537 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 512537.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 46 away from 51, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 52 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 46 away from 52, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
23 can be fit into 65 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 222.0
If we take 46 away from 65, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 193 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 193 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2228.0
Subtracting 184 from 193 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 97 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22284.0
Subtract 92 from 97 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22284.2
If we subtract 46 from 50, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 22284.21
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22284.217
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up 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 10:
When dividing 90 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22284.2173
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 69 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 11:
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: 22284.21739
Subtract 207 from 210 to 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.

On to step 12:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22284.217391
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 70 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22284.2173913
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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22284.2173913
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Our division results in 22284.2173913 with a remaining 1e-08.
