We're dividing 259466 by 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 259466.

Going ahead to step 1:
23 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 25 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 23 from 25 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 23

On to step 3:
29 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 23 from 29.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 64 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 46 from 64, we get 18.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 186 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 186 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1128.0
Subtracting 184 from 186 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
23 goes into 26 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11281.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 23 from 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
23 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11281.1
Subtract 23 from 30 to get 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 8:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11281.13
Subtracting 69 from 70 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11281.13
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11281.1304
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
23 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11281.13043
Subtract 69 from 80 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11281.130434
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11281.1304347
If we subtract 161 from 180, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 190 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11281.13043478
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11281.13043478 and a remainder of 6e-09.
