853942 ÷ 23 
Our goal is to divide 853942 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 23

On to step 2:
85 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 69 from 85, we get 16.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 163 / 23

On to step 3:
When dividing 163 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtracting 161 from 163 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 29 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 371.0
Subtract 23 from 29 to get 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 64 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3712.0
If we take 46 away from 64, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 182 / 23

Step 6:
23 goes into 182 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37127.0
Subtracting 161 from 182 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37127.9
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 37127.91
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.

On to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 70 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37127.913
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37127.913
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 100 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37127.91304
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37127.913043
Subtract 69 from 80 to get 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 13:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37127.9130434
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
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 14:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37127.91304347
If we subtract 161 from 180, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final result is 37127.91304347 with a remainder of 1.9e-08.
