We're dividing 516686 by 23 
We want to divide 516686 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 23

Step 2:
The number 23 fits into 51 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 46 from 51.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 56 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 can be fit into 56 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 46 away from 56, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 106 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 106 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 224.0
Subtracting 92 from 106 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 148 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2246.0
If we take 138 away from 148, we end up with 10.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 106 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
106 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22464.0
Subtracting 92 from 106 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22464.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22464.6
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22464.608
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22464.6086
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22464.60869
Subtracting 207 from 220 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 12:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22464.608695
Deduct 115 from 130 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22464.6086956
Subtracting 138 from 150 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
120 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22464.60869565
Subtracting 115 from 120 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final result is 22464.60869565 with a remainder of 5e-09.
