We look at the division of 86897 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 86897 by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 69 from 86, we get 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 178 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 161 from 178.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 179 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 377.0
If we subtract 161 from 179, we get 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 23

Step 5:
187 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3778.0
Subtract 184 from 187 to 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.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3778.1
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3778.13
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 69 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3778.13
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 100 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3778.1304
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
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 10:
23 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3778.13043
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 69 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3778.130434
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3778.1304347
Subtract 161 from 180 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3778.13043478
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.

The final outcome is 3778.13043478, with a leftover of 6e-09.
