We divide 972876 by 23
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 972876.

On to step 1:
23 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 97 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 92 from 97.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 52 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 46 from 52 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 68 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 422.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 46 from 68.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 227 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 227 9 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4229.0
Deduct 207 from 227 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 206 / 23

On to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 206 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42298.0
Subtract 184 from 206 to get 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 7:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42298.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 42298.95
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.

Moving on to step 9:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42298.956
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 138 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42298.9565
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42298.95652
Subtract 46 from 50 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42298.956521
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
23 can be fit into 170 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 42298.9565217
Subtract 161 from 170 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
23 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 42298.95652173
If we take 69 away from 90, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The final result is 42298.95652173 with a remainder of 2.1e-08.
