We look at the division of 189172 by 23 
We want to divide 189172 by 23.

Step 1:
23 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 189 / 23

Step 3:
When dividing 189 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 184 from 189, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 51 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we take 46 away from 51, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 23

On to step 5:
When dividing 57 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 822.0
If we take 46 away from 57, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 112 / 23

On to step 6:
If we divide 112 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8224.0
If we take 92 away from 112, 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.

On to step 7:
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: 8224.8
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8224.86
Subtract 138 from 160 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8224.869
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 207 from 220.
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 10:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8224.8695
If we take 115 away from 130, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
23 can be fit into 150 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8224.86956
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 12:
If we divide 120 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8224.869565
Deduct 115 from 120 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 13:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8224.8695652
Subtract 46 from 50 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8224.86956521
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 8224.86956521 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
