We divide 501159 by 23
Our goal is to divide 501159 by 23.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 23

On to step 2:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 46 away from 50, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 41 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 23 away from 41, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 181 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 181 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we subtract 161 from 181, we get 20.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 205 / 23

Step 5:
The number 23 fits into 205 8 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2178.0
If we take 184 away from 205, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 219 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21789.0
If we subtract 207 from 219, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21789.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21789.52
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21789.521
Subtract 23 from 40 to 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.

On to step 10:
23 can be fit into 170 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21789.5217
Subtracting 161 from 170 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21789.52173
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 69 from 90.
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 12:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21789.521739
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21789.5217391
Subtract 23 from 30 to 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 14:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21789.52173913
Subtracting 69 from 70 leaves us 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.

The final result is 21789.52173913 with a remainder of 1e-09.
