597872 ÷ 23 
Our goal is to divide 597872 by 23.

On to step 1:
23 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 23

On to step 2:
23 can be fit into 59 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 46 away from 59, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 137 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 can be fit into 137 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 115 from 137 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 228 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
228 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259.0
Subtracting 207 from 228 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 23

On to step 5:
23 can be fit into 217 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2599.0
Deduct 207 from 217 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 102 / 23

On to step 6:
102 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25994.0
If we take 92 away from 102, we end up with 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:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25994.4
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
23 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25994.43
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25994.434
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25994.4347
If we subtract 161 from 180, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25994.43478
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.

Step 12:
23 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25994.434782
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left 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 13:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 25994.4347826
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left 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 14:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25994.4347826
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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 final result is 25994.4347826 with a remainder of 2e-08.
