Let's divide 982896 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 982896 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 23

On to step 2:
98 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 92 away from 98, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
23 can be fit into 62 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 46 from 62 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 23

Step 4:
The number 23 fits into 168 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 427.0
Subtract 161 from 168 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 79 3 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4273.0
Subtract 69 from 79 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 106 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 106 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42734.0
If we subtract 92 from 106, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42734.6
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 20 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42734.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42734.608
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
23 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42734.6086
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42734.60869
Subtract 207 from 220 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 130 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42734.608695
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
23 can be fit into 150 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42734.6086956
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 138 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42734.60869565
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.

Our division results in 42734.60869565 with a remaining 5e-09.
