We divide 389272 by 23
We want to divide 389272 by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 23 from 38 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 159 6 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 138 from 159 to get 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 can be fit into 212 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we subtract 207 from 212, we get 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 23

Step 5:
23 can be fit into 57 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1692.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 46 from 57.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 112 / 23

Step 6:
When dividing 112 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16924.0
If we take 92 away from 112, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16924.8
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16924.86
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 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 9:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16924.869
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 130 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16924.8695
If we subtract 115 from 130, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16924.86956
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16924.869565
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 115 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 50 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16924.8695652
Subtracting 46 from 50 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16924.86956521
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.

Our division results in 16924.86956521 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
