We're dividing 985319 by 23 
We want to divide 985319 by 23.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 92 from 98.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 65 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 19.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 46 from 65.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 193 / 23

On to step 4:
193 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 428.0
Subtracting 184 from 193 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 91 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 91 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4283.0
Deduct 69 from 91 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
229 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42839.0
Subtracting 207 from 229 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
23 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42839.9
If we subtract 207 from 220, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 130 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42839.95
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
23 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42839.956
Deduct 138 from 150 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
23 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42839.9565
Subtract 115 from 120 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42839.95652
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 42839.956521
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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 170 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42839.9565217
Subtracting 161 from 170 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
23 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42839.95652173
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.

Our division results in 42839.95652173 with a remaining 2.1e-08.
