We're dividing 23173 by 98 
We want to divide 23173 by 98.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
98 goes into 231 2 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 196 from 231 to get 35.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 357 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 357 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 294 away from 357, we end up with 63.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 633 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 633 6 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.0
If we take 588 away from 633, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
450 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 58.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236.4
Deduct 392 from 450 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
580 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 90.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 236.45
If we take 490 away from 580, we end up with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
98 goes into 900 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.459
Subtract 882 from 900 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
98 goes into 180 1 times with a remainder of 82.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 236.4591
Subtract 98 from 180 to get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
820 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236.45918
If we take 784 away from 820, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 236.459183
If we subtract 294 from 360, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
660 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.4591836
Subtract 588 from 660 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 13:
720 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236.45918367
Subtract 686 from 720 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 236.45918367, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
