We're dividing 516889 by 23 
We want to divide 516889 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 51 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 51, we get 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 23

On to step 3:
When dividing 56 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 46 from 56 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 108 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 224.0
Subtracting 92 from 108 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
168 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2247.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 161 from 168.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 23

On to step 6:
23 can be fit into 79 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22473.0
Subtracting 69 from 79 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 22473.4
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22473.43
Subtracting 69 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22473.434
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 10:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22473.4347
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 161 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 22473.43478
If we subtract 184 from 190, we get 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 12:
When dividing 60 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22473.434782
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.

Step 13:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22473.4347826
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 22473.4347826
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 22473.4347826 with a balance of 2e-08.
