Let's divide 918729 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 918729 can be divided 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
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
91 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 69 from 91 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
23 goes into 228 9 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 207 away from 228, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 217 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 399.0
Subtract 207 from 217 to get 10.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 102 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
102 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3994.0
Deduct 92 from 102 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 goes into 109 4 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39944.0
Subtracting 92 from 109 leaves us 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 7:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 39944.7
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 161 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
23 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39944.73
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 69 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39944.739
Deduct 207 from 210 and we're left 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 10:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39944.7391
Deduct 23 from 30 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39944.73913
If we subtract 69 from 70, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39944.73913
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 39944.7391304
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
23 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39944.73913043
Deduct 69 from 80 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.

The final result is 39944.73913043 with a remainder of 1.1e-08.
