We divide 298661 by 23
We want to divide 298661 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
23 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 23

Step 2:
The number 23 fits into 29 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 23 from 29 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 can be fit into 68 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 46 from 68.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 23

On to step 4:
23 goes into 226 9 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 129.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 207 from 226.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 196 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 196 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1298.0
If we subtract 184 from 196, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 23

Step 6:
23 goes into 121 5 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12985.0
Deduct 115 from 121 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12985.2
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12985.26
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12985.26
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12985.2608
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12985.26086
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12985.260869
Deduct 207 from 220 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
130 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12985.2608695
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 115 from 130.
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 14:
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: 12985.26086956
Subtract 138 from 150 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12985.26086956, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
