We're dividing 685914 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 685914 can be divided by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 46 away from 68, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 225 / 23

On to step 3:
23 can be fit into 225 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 207 from 225 to get 18.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 189 / 23

On to step 4:
189 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 298.0
Subtracting 184 from 189 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
51 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2982.0
If we take 46 away from 51, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
54 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29822.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 46 from 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 29822.3
If we subtract 69 from 80, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29822.34
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29822.347
If we subtract 161 from 180, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 10:
23 can be fit into 190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29822.3478
Subtract 184 from 190 to 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.

Step 11:
23 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29822.34782
If we take 46 away from 60, 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.

Moving on to step 12:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29822.347826
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29822.347826
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Step 14:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29822.34782608
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 29822.34782608 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
