872507 ÷ 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 872507.

Step 1:
8 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 69 from 87, we get 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 182 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 161 from 182 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 215 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
215 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 379.0
Subtracting 207 from 215 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 80 / 23

On to step 5:
23 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3793.0
Deduct 69 from 80 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
23 can be fit into 117 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37935.0
If we take 115 away from 117, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37935.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 37935.08
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 37935.086
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
23 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37935.0869
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 130 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37935.08695
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37935.086956
Subtract 138 from 150 to get 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 13:
If we divide 120 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37935.0869565
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.

Advancing to step 14:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37935.08695652
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 37935.08695652 with a balance of 4e-09.
