We divide 856904 by 23
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 856904.

On to step 1:
23 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 85 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 69 from 85 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 166 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 can be fit into 166 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 161 away from 166, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 59 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 372.0
Deduct 46 from 59 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 130 / 23

Step 5:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3725.0
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 154 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 154 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37256.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 138 from 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37256.6
If we subtract 138 from 160, we 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.

Step 8:
23 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37256.69
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 207 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 130 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37256.695
Subtract 115 from 130 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37256.6956
If we subtract 138 from 150, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37256.69565
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.

Moving on to step 12:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37256.695652
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
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: 37256.6956521
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.

Moving on to step 14:
23 can be fit into 170 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37256.69565217
Subtracting 161 from 170 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 37256.69565217 with a remaining 9e-09.
