We divide 856951 by 23
Our goal is to divide 856951 by 23.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 23

Step 2:
If we divide 85 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 69 from 85.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 166 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
166 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 161 from 166, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 23

Step 4:
23 goes into 59 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 372.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 46 from 59.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 135 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
135 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3725.0
If we take 115 away from 135, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 201 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 201 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37258.0
If we take 184 away from 201, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37258.7
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up 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 8:
23 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37258.73
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 9:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37258.739
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.

Moving on to step 10:
23 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37258.7391
Subtract 23 from 30 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 70 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37258.73913
Deduct 69 from 70 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 10 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37258.73913
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37258.7391304
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37258.73913043
Deduct 69 from 80 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 37258.73913043, and the remainder is 1.1e-08.
