We're dividing 984523 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 984523.

Going ahead to step 1:
23 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 92 away from 98, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
64 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 46 from 64 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 185 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 goes into 185 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 428.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 184 from 185.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 12 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4280.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 23

Step 6:
If we divide 123 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42805.0
Subtract 115 from 123 to 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.

Moving on to step 7:
23 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42805.3
If we subtract 69 from 80, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42805.34
If we subtract 92 from 110, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 180 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42805.347
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 161 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 190 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 42805.3478
If we subtract 184 from 190, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42805.34782
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up 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 12:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42805.347826
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 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 13:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42805.347826
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 42805.34782608
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 42805.34782608 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
