Let's divide 56959 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 56959 can be divided by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 can be fit into 56 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 56, we get 10.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 23

Step 3:
23 can be fit into 109 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 92 away from 109, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 175 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
23 goes into 175 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 247.0
If we subtract 161 from 175, we get 14.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 23

On to step 5:
149 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2476.0
If we take 138 away from 149, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2476.4
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
23 can be fit into 180 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2476.47
If we subtract 161 from 180, we 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2476.478
Subtracting 184 from 190 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2476.4782
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2476.47826
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2476.47826
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2476.4782608
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
160 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2476.47826086
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 2476.47826086 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
