512493 divided by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 512493 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
23 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
23 can be fit into 51 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 46 from 51 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 23

On to step 3:
23 goes into 52 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we subtract 46 from 52, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 23

On to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 64 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 222.0
Deduct 46 from 64 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 189 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
189 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2228.0
Subtract 184 from 189 to get 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 23

Step 6:
23 can be fit into 53 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22282.0
Subtract 46 from 53 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
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: 22282.3
If we take 69 away from 70, we end up 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 8:
The number 23 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 22282.3
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.

On to step 9:
100 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22282.304
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 22282.3043
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 69 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
110 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 22282.30434
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.

On to step 12:
180 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 22282.304347
If we subtract 161 from 180, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22282.3043478
Deduct 184 from 190 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22282.30434782
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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.

Our division results in 22282.30434782 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
