551959 divided by 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 551959.

Step 1:
23 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 55, we get 9.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 91 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 goes into 91 3 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 69 from 91 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 229 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 239.0
Subtracting 207 from 229 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 225 / 23

Step 5:
225 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2399.0
If we take 207 away from 225, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 189 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
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: 23998.0
If we subtract 184 from 189, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
23 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23998.2
If we take 46 away from 50, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23998.21
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 23 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23998.217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
23 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23998.2173
If we subtract 69 from 90, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23998.21739
If we subtract 207 from 210, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23998.217391
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 23 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 13:
23 goes into 70 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23998.2173913
Subtract 69 from 70 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23998.2173913
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 23998.2173913, and the remainder is 1e-08.
