938872 divided by 23 
We want to divide 938872 by 23.

Step 1:
The number 23 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 93 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 93 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 92 from 93.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 18 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 188 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 408.0
Subtract 184 from 188 to get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 47 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4082.0
Subtracting 46 from 47 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
23 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40820.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40820.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40820.52
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40820.521
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.

On to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40820.5217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40820.52173
If we take 69 away from 90, we end up 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.

Step 12:
The number 23 fits into 210 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40820.521739
Deduct 207 from 210 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
23 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40820.5217391
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40820.52173913
If we subtract 69 from 70, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 40820.52173913 and a remainder of 1e-09.
