Let's divide 170965 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 170965.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 23

On to step 2:
23 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 170 / 23

Step 3:
The number 23 fits into 170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 161 from 170 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 can be fit into 99 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 92 from 99.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 76 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 743.0
Subtract 69 from 76 to get 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 23

Step 6:
The number 23 fits into 75 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7433.0
If we subtract 69 from 75, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7433.2
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us with 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 8:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7433.26
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.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7433.26
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7433.2608
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7433.26086
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 12:
23 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7433.260869
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 130 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7433.2608695
If we take 115 away from 130, we end up 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.

Step 14:
23 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7433.26086956
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7433.26086956 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
