We're dividing 23681500 by 587 
We're looking to find how many times 587 goes into 23681500.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 587, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 587

Going ahead to step 2:
587 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 236 / 587

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 236 by 587, we get 0 and a remainder of 236.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 236 after subtracting 0 from 236.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 236, then repeat: 2368 / 587

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2368 by 587, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 2348 from 2368, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 201 / 587

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 201 by 587, we get 0 and a remainder of 201.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 201, we end up with 201.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 201, then repeat: 2015 / 587

Going ahead to step 6:
2015 divided by 587 is 3 with a remainder of 254.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 403.0
Subtract 1761 from 2015 to get 254.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 254 and repeat the process: 2540 / 587

On to step 7:
2540 divided by 587 is 4 with a remainder of 192.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4034.0
Deduct 2348 from 2540 and we're left with 192.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 192, then carry on: 1920 / 587

Step 8:
587 can be fit into 1920 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 159.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40343.0
Subtract 1761 from 1920 to get 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
587 goes into 1590 2 times with a remainder of 416.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40343.2
The remainder is 416 after subtracting 1174 from 1590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 4160 by 587, we get 7 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40343.27
Subtract 4109 from 4160 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
587 goes into 510 0 times with a remainder of 510.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40343.27
The remainder is 510 after subtracting 0 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
587 can be fit into 5100 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 404.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40343.2708
Deduct 4696 from 5100 and we're left with 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
587 can be fit into 4040 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 518.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40343.27086
Deduct 3522 from 4040 and we're left with 518.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 5180 by 587, we get 8 and a remainder of 484.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40343.270868
The remainder is 484 after subtracting 4696 from 5180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
587 can be fit into 4840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40343.2708688
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 4696 from 4840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 40343.2708688, and the remainder is 1.44e-06.
