We're dividing 266471 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 266471 can be divided by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 26 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 23 from 26 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 23

Step 3:
If we divide 36 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 23 away from 36, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 23

On to step 4:
If we divide 134 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we take 115 away from 134, we end up with 19.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 197 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
23 can be fit into 197 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1158.0
If we subtract 184 from 197, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 131 / 23

Step 6:
The number 23 fits into 131 5 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11585.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 115 from 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11585.6
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11585.69
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 207 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11585.695
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 115 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11585.6956
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.

Step 11:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11585.69565
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.

On to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11585.695652
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11585.6956521
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 170 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11585.69565217
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.

Our division results in 11585.69565217 with a remaining 9e-09.
