We divide 235685 by 23
We want to divide 235685 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
23 goes into 23 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 23 from 23 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 5 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 goes into 56 2 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 102.0
Subtracting 46 from 56 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
108 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1024.0
Subtract 92 from 108 to get 16.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 165 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 goes into 165 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10247.0
Subtract 161 from 165 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10247.1
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.

Step 8:
If we divide 170 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10247.17
Subtract 161 from 170 to get 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 9:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10247.173
Subtract 69 from 90 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 210 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10247.1739
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 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 11:
23 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10247.17391
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
23 goes into 70 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10247.173913
Deduct 69 from 70 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10247.173913
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10247.17391304
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10247.17391304 with a remaining 8e-09.
