We're dividing 972011 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 972011 by 23.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 23

On to step 2:
23 can be fit into 97 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 92 from 97 to get 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 23

On to step 3:
23 can be fit into 52 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 46 from 52.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 60 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 422.0
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 141 / 23

On to step 5:
If we divide 141 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4226.0
Subtract 138 from 141 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 23

Step 6:
23 goes into 31 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42261.0
If we take 23 away from 31, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42261.3
If we subtract 69 from 80, we 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42261.34
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.

Advancing to step 9:
23 can be fit into 180 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42261.347
Subtract 161 from 180 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 190 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42261.3478
Deduct 184 from 190 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
23 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42261.34782
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 42261.347826
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42261.347826
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.

Step 14:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 42261.34782608
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 42261.34782608 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
