We're dividing 585899 by 23 
We want to divide 585899 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
58 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 46 from 58 to get 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 125 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 125 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 115 from 125, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 108 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254.0
If we subtract 92 from 108, we get 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 169 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2547.0
Subtracting 161 from 169 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 89 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25473.0
If we take 69 away from 89, 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:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25473.8
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25473.86
If we subtract 138 from 160, we 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:
23 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25473.869
Subtracting 207 from 220 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25473.8695
Subtract 115 from 130 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25473.86956
Deduct 138 from 150 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25473.869565
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.

Moving on to step 13:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25473.8695652
Subtracting 46 from 50 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25473.86956521
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left with 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 25473.86956521 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
