Let's divide 551298 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 551298.

Let's proceed to step 1:
23 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 46 from 55 to get 9.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 91 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 91 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 69 away from 91, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 222 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 222 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 239.0
Subtracting 207 from 222 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 goes into 159 6 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2396.0
Deduct 138 from 159 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 23

On to step 6:
When dividing 218 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23969.0
Deduct 207 from 218 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
110 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23969.4
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 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 8:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23969.47
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 161 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23969.478
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23969.4782
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23969.47826
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 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 12:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23969.47826
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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23969.4782608
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23969.47826086
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.

The quotient of the division is 23969.47826086, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
