285444 ÷ 23 
We want to divide 285444 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 23 from 28 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 can be fit into 55 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 46 from 55 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 23

On to step 4:
If we divide 94 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Deduct 92 from 94 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 24 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1241.0
Deduct 23 from 24 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
23 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12410.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12410.6
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12410.6
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.

Moving on to step 9:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12410.608
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12410.6086
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12410.60869
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 130 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12410.608695
If we take 115 away from 130, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
23 can be fit into 150 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12410.6086956
Subtract 138 from 150 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12410.60869565
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 115 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12410.60869565, with a leftover of 5e-09.
