We divide 23412 by 577
We're looking to find how many times 577 goes into 23412.

On to step 1:
577 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 577

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 divided by 577 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 234 / 577

Let's proceed to step 3:
234 divided by 577 is 0 with a remainder of 234.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 234 and we're left with 234.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 234 and continue: 2341 / 577

On to step 4:
The number 577 fits into 2341 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 2308 from 2341 to get 33.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 332 / 577

On to step 5:
577 goes into 332 0 times with a remainder of 332.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 332, we end up with 332.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 577 fits into 3320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 435.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.5
Subtracting 2885 from 3320 leaves us with 435.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 4350 by 577, we get 7 with a remainder of 311.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.57
Deduct 4039 from 4350 and we're left with 311.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 3110 by 577, we get 5 and a remainder of 225.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.575
If we take 2885 away from 3110, we end up with 225.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
577 can be fit into 2250 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 519.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.5753
The remainder is 519 after subtracting 1731 from 2250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
577 can be fit into 5190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 574.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.57538
The remainder is 574 after subtracting 4616 from 5190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 5740 by 577, we get 9 and a remainder of 547.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.575389
The remainder is 547 after subtracting 5193 from 5740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
577 goes into 5470 9 times with a remainder of 277.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.5753899
Deduct 5193 from 5470 and we're left with 277.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2770, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 40.5753899, with a leftover of 2.77e-06.
