We're dividing 205281 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 205281.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 23

Step 2:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 205 / 23

Step 3:
23 goes into 205 8 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 184 from 205 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
23 goes into 212 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we take 207 away from 212, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 23

Step 5:
The number 23 fits into 58 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 892.0
Deduct 46 from 58 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 121 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 121 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8925.0
Deduct 115 from 121 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8925.2
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 8925.26
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.

Step 9:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8925.26
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 10:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8925.2608
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.

On to step 11:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8925.26086
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 12:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8925.260869
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.

Step 13:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8925.2608695
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.

On to step 14:
23 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8925.26086956
Subtracting 138 from 150 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8925.26086956 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
