Let's divide 471950 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 471950.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 23, we get 0 and 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.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 46 away from 47, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
11 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
119 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 205.0
If we subtract 115 from 119, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 goes into 45 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2051.0
Subtract 23 from 45 to get 22.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 220 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20519.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 207 from 220.
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 7:
When dividing 130 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20519.5
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
23 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20519.56
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20519.565
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20519.5652
Subtracting 46 from 50 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20519.56521
If we subtract 23 from 40, we 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.

Step 12:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20519.565217
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 161 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
23 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20519.5652173
Subtracting 69 from 90 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20519.56521739
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 207 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The final result is 20519.56521739 with a remainder of 3e-09.
