We divide 140683 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 140683.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 26 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 23 away from 26, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 38 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 611.0
Subtracting 23 from 38 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 153 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 153 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6116.0
Subtract 138 from 153 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6116.6
If we subtract 138 from 150, we 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6116.65
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 115 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6116.652
Subtracting 46 from 50 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6116.6521
If we take 23 away from 40, 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.

On to step 11:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6116.65217
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 12:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6116.652173
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 13:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6116.6521739
If we take 207 away from 210, we end up 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.

Step 14:
23 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6116.65217391
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.

Our division results in 6116.65217391 with a remaining 7e-09.
