Let's divide 499556 by 23
Our goal is to divide 499556 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 49 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 49, we get 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
23 goes into 39 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 23 from 39, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 165 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 goes into 165 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we subtract 161 from 165, we get 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 23

On to step 5:
When dividing 45 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2171.0
Subtracting 23 from 45 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 226 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21719.0
Subtracting 207 from 226 leaves us with 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 7:
The number 23 fits into 190 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21719.8
If we subtract 184 from 190, we 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.

On to step 8:
23 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21719.82
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21719.826
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21719.826
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 11:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21719.82608
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.

Advancing to step 12:
160 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21719.826086
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
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 13:
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: 21719.8260869
Subtracting 207 from 220 leaves us 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 14:
When dividing 130 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21719.82608695
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.

The quotient of the division is 21719.82608695, and the remainder is 1.5e-08.
