We divide 876974 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 876974 can be divided by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
23 can be fit into 87 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 69 away from 87, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 186 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
186 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 184 from 186, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
29 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 381.0
If we subtract 23 from 29, we get 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 goes into 67 2 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3812.0
If we take 46 away from 67, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
214 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38129.0
If we subtract 207 from 214, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38129.3
Deduct 69 from 70 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 10 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38129.3
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 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 9:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38129.304
If we subtract 92 from 100, we 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 10:
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: 38129.3043
Deduct 69 from 80 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38129.30434
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 38129.304347
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 161 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 190 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38129.3043478
Subtract 184 from 190 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
23 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38129.30434782
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 38129.30434782 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
