We're dividing 578702 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 578702.

Advancing to step 1:
23 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 57 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 46 from 57 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 23

On to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 118 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 115 away from 118, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 37 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 251.0
Deduct 23 from 37 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 140 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2516.0
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 22 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25160.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
23 goes into 220 9 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 25160.9
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.

Advancing to step 8:
130 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25160.95
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 115 from 130.
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 9:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25160.956
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25160.9565
Subtract 115 from 120 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25160.95652
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.

Advancing to step 12:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25160.956521
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 170 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25160.9565217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left 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 14:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25160.95652173
Subtracting 69 from 90 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 25160.95652173 with a balance of 2.1e-08.
