We're dividing 491547 by 23 
We want to divide 491547 by 23.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 goes into 49 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 46 from 49 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 23

On to step 3:
31 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 23 from 31 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 85 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 213.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 69 from 85.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
23 goes into 164 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2137.0
Subtract 161 from 164 to get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
37 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21371.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 23 from 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21371.6
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21371.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21371.608
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21371.6086
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21371.60869
Subtracting 207 from 220 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21371.608695
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.

Moving on to step 13:
23 can be fit into 150 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21371.6086956
Subtract 138 from 150 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21371.60869565
Deduct 115 from 120 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.

After the division, we end up with 21371.60869565 and a remainder of 5e-09.
