Let's divide 493464 by 23
Our goal is to divide 493464 by 23.

Step 1:
23 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 49, we get 3.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 33 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 33 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 23 away from 33, we end up with 10.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 104 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
104 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
If we take 92 away from 104, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 126 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
126 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2145.0
Deduct 115 from 126 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 114 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 114 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21454.0
Subtracting 92 from 114 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21454.9
Subtract 207 from 220 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21454.95
Deduct 115 from 130 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21454.956
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up 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.

Step 10:
23 goes into 120 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21454.9565
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
23 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21454.95652
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21454.956521
If we take 23 away from 40, we end up 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.

Step 13:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21454.9565217
Subtracting 161 from 170 leaves us 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 14:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21454.95652173
Subtract 69 from 90 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 21454.95652173 with a balance of 2.1e-08.
