Let's divide 965942 by 23
We want to divide 965942 by 23.

On to step 1:
23 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 23

Step 2:
96 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 92 from 96 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 23

On to step 3:
45 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 23 from 45 to get 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 23

Step 4:
23 goes into 229 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 419.0
If we take 207 away from 229, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 224 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 224 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4199.0
If we take 207 away from 224, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 172 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 172 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41997.0
Subtract 161 from 172 to get 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 7:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41997.4
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left with 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 8:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41997.47
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
190 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41997.478
Subtract 184 from 190 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 41997.4782
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41997.47826
If we subtract 138 from 140, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41997.47826
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41997.4782608
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 41997.47826086
Subtract 138 from 160 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.

After the division, we end up with 41997.47826086 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
