We look at the division of 488047 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 488047 can be divided by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 23

On to step 2:
23 goes into 48 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 46 from 48 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
28 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 23 from 28.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 212.0
If we take 46 away from 50, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 23

On to step 5:
When dividing 44 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2121.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 23 from 44.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
23 goes into 217 9 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21219.0
If we subtract 207 from 217, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21219.4
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
23 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21219.43
Subtract 69 from 80 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 9:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21219.434
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21219.4347
Subtracting 161 from 180 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.

Step 11:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21219.43478
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 12:
23 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21219.434782
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.

On to step 13:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21219.4347826
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up 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.

Step 14:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21219.4347826
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

The final result is 21219.4347826 with a remainder of 2e-08.
