Let's divide 478033 by 23
Our goal is to divide 478033 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 46 from 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 23

Step 3:
When dividing 18 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 180 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 207.0
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 193 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 193 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2078.0
If we subtract 184 from 193, we get 9.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 93 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
23 goes into 93 4 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20784.0
Subtracting 92 from 93 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
23 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20784.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
100 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20784.04
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20784.043
If we take 69 away from 80, we end up with 11.
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 10:
110 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20784.0434
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20784.04347
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
190 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20784.043478
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20784.0434782
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20784.04347826
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20784.04347826 and a remainder of 2e-09.
