131040 ÷ 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 131040 can be divided by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 23

Step 2:
The number 23 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 13 leaves us with 13.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 131 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 131 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 115 from 131.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 160 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 23

On to step 5:
23 goes into 224 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 569.0
If we subtract 207 from 224, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 170 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5697.0
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5697.3
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5697.39
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 207 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5697.391
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 23 from 30.
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 10:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5697.3913
Subtract 69 from 70 to 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 11:
If we divide 10 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5697.3913
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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 12:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5697.391304
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5697.3913043
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.

Step 14:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5697.39130434
If we subtract 92 from 110, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 5697.39130434, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
