We look at the division of 848872 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 848872 can be divided by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 23

Step 2:
23 can be fit into 84 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 69 from 84, we get 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 158 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtracting 138 from 158 leaves us with 20.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 208 / 23

Step 4:
The number 23 fits into 208 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 369.0
If we subtract 207 from 208, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
17 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3690.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 172 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36907.0
If we subtract 161 from 172, we 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 7:
110 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36907.4
Subtracting 92 from 110 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 36907.47
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36907.478
Deduct 184 from 190 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36907.4782
If we subtract 46 from 60, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 36907.47826
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 12:
When dividing 20 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 36907.47826
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36907.4782608
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36907.47826086
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 36907.47826086 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
