We're dividing 12853617 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 12853617 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 128 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 115 away from 128, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 135 / 23

On to step 4:
135 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 115 from 135, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 203 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 203 8 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 558.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 184 from 203.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 196 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 196 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5588.0
Subtracting 184 from 196 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 121 / 23

Step 7:
The number 23 fits into 121 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55885.0
Subtract 115 from 121 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 23

Step 8:
When dividing 67 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 558852.0
If we subtract 46 from 67, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 558852.9
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.

On to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 558852.91
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 11:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 558852.913
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 558852.913
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
23 can be fit into 100 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 558852.91304
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 558852.913043
Deduct 69 from 80 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 558852.9130434
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 558852.91304347
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 558852.91304347 with a balance of 1.9e-08.
