158597 ÷ 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 158597.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 1 0 times, leaving 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.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 23

Step 2:
The number 23 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 23

On to step 3:
23 can be fit into 158 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 138 from 158 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 205 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 can be fit into 205 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtracting 184 from 205 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 23

Step 5:
219 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 689.0
Subtracting 207 from 219 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 127 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6895.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 115 from 127.
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 7:
23 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6895.5
If we subtract 115 from 120, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6895.52
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6895.521
Subtracting 23 from 40 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.

Advancing to step 10:
23 can be fit into 170 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6895.5217
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6895.52173
Subtract 69 from 90 to get 21.
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 12:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6895.521739
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6895.5217391
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 70 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6895.52173913
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.

The final outcome is 6895.52173913, with a leftover of 1e-09.
