We divide 285743 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 285743 can be divided by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
23 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 23

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 23 from 28 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 55 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 46 from 55 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
97 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 92 from 97.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 54 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1242.0
Deduct 46 from 54 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 23

On to step 6:
When dividing 83 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12423.0
If we take 69 away from 83, we end up 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 7:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12423.6
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12423.6
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12423.608
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
23 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12423.6086
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12423.60869
Deduct 207 from 220 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
130 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12423.608695
If we subtract 115 from 130, we 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 13:
23 can be fit into 150 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12423.6086956
Subtracting 138 from 150 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12423.60869565
If we subtract 115 from 120, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 12423.60869565, and the remainder is 5e-09.
