We divide 499877 by 23
We want to divide 499877 by 23.

Step 1:
The number 23 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 23

On to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 49, we get 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 39 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 23 from 39.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 168 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217.0
Deduct 161 from 168 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 23

Step 5:
If we divide 77 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2173.0
Subtracting 69 from 77 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
23 can be fit into 87 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21733.0
If we subtract 69 from 87, we 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.

Advancing to step 7:
23 can be fit into 180 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21733.7
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21733.78
Subtracting 184 from 190 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 21733.782
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 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 10:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21733.7826
Subtract 138 from 140 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21733.7826
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21733.782608
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21733.7826086
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.

On to step 14:
23 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21733.78260869
If we subtract 207 from 220, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21733.78260869 with a remaining 1.3e-08.
