Let's divide 977787 by 23
We want to divide 977787 by 23.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 23

On to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 92 from 97 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 57 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 46 from 57 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 117 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 117 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 425.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 115 from 117.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 23

Step 5:
28 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4251.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 23 from 28.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
57 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42512.0
Deduct 46 from 57 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42512.4
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42512.47
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 190 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42512.478
Subtract 184 from 190 to 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.

Step 10:
23 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42512.4782
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:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42512.47826
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42512.47826
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42512.4782608
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 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:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42512.47826086
Subtract 138 from 160 to 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.

The final outcome is 42512.47826086, with a leftover of 2.2e-08.
