We divide 551249 by 23
We want to divide 551249 by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 23

On to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 46 from 55 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
23 goes into 91 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 69 from 91, we get 22.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 222 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
222 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 239.0
Deduct 207 from 222 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 23

On to step 5:
23 can be fit into 154 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2396.0
If we subtract 138 from 154, we get 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
23 goes into 169 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23967.0
Subtracting 161 from 169 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.

Step 7:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23967.3
If we subtract 69 from 80, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23967.34
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left with 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 9:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23967.347
Subtracting 161 from 180 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 can be fit into 190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23967.3478
Subtract 184 from 190 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23967.34782
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23967.347826
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23967.347826
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23967.34782608
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 23967.34782608 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
