Let's divide 135981 by 23
Our goal is to divide 135981 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 23

Step 2:
23 can be fit into 13 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 13 to get 13.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 135 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 135 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 115 away from 135, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 209 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
23 can be fit into 209 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we subtract 207 from 209, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 591.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 23 from 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
23 goes into 51 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5912.0
Deduct 46 from 51 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5912.2
If we subtract 46 from 50, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5912.21
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5912.217
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 161 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5912.2173
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5912.21739
If we take 207 away from 210, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5912.217391
Subtracting 23 from 30 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5912.2173913
If we subtract 69 from 70, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5912.2173913
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 5912.2173913 and a remainder of 1e-08.
