We're dividing 490221 by 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 490221.

Moving on to step 1:
23 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 can be fit into 49 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 46 from 49 to get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 23 from 30 to get 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
23 can be fit into 72 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 213.0
If we subtract 69 from 72, we get 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 32 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2131.0
If we take 23 away from 32, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 23

Step 6:
When dividing 91 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21313.0
If we take 69 away from 91, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21313.9
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
130 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21313.95
Subtract 115 from 130 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21313.956
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 138 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
23 goes into 120 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21313.9565
If we subtract 115 from 120, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21313.95652
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left 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 12:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21313.956521
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 21313.9565217
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up 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.

Step 14:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21313.95652173
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.

Our division results in 21313.95652173 with a remaining 2.1e-08.
