Let's divide 149579 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 149579 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
14 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
23 can be fit into 149 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 138 away from 149, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 115 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
115 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtracting 115 from 115 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 7 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 650.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 79 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6503.0
Subtract 69 from 79 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 can be fit into 100 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6503.4
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left 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 8:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6503.43
If we take 69 away from 80, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6503.434
If we subtract 92 from 110, we 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.

On to step 10:
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: 6503.4347
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up with 19.
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 11:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6503.43478
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6503.434782
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6503.4347826
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6503.4347826
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 6503.4347826, and the remainder is 2e-08.
