Let's divide 507211 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 507211 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 47 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 46 from 47 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 12 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 220.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 23

On to step 5:
23 goes into 121 5 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2205.0
If we take 115 away from 121, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 23

On to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 61 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22052.0
Subtract 46 from 61 to 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.

Step 7:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22052.6
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 22052.65
Deduct 115 from 120 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22052.652
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 22052.6521
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.

Moving on to step 11:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22052.65217
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.

Advancing to step 12:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22052.652173
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22052.6521739
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 14:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22052.65217391
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.

Our division results in 22052.65217391 with a remaining 7e-09.
