We look at the division of 388021 by 23 
We want to divide 388021 by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
23 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 23 from 38 leaves us with 15.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 158 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 138 from 158 to get 20.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 200 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168.0
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 162 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 162 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1687.0
Deduct 161 from 162 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 11 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16870.0
Deduct 0 from 11 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
110 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16870.4
Subtract 92 from 110 to 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 8:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16870.47
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16870.478
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up 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.

Step 10:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16870.4782
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16870.47826
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16870.47826
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 13:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16870.4782608
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
160 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16870.47826086
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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.

Our division results in 16870.47826086 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
