989741 divided by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 989741.

Let's proceed to step 1:
23 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
98 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 92 from 98.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 23

Step 3:
23 goes into 69 3 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43.0
Deduct 69 from 69 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 430.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
23 can be fit into 74 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4303.0
Subtract 69 from 74 to get 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 goes into 51 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43032.0
Subtracting 46 from 51 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43032.2
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43032.21
If we subtract 23 from 40, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 43032.217
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43032.2173
If we subtract 69 from 90, we 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 11:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43032.21739
Deduct 207 from 210 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43032.217391
Deduct 23 from 30 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 70 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43032.2173913
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.

Advancing to step 14:
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: 43032.2173913
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 43032.2173913, with a leftover of 1e-08.
