We divide 479977 by 23
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 479977.

Advancing to step 1:
23 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 can be fit into 47 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 46 from 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
19 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 199 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 199 8 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 208.0
Deduct 184 from 199 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 157 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2086.0
Subtract 138 from 157 to get 19.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 197 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 197 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20868.0
Subtracting 184 from 197 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20868.5
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 115 from 130.
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 8:
23 can be fit into 150 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20868.56
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20868.565
Subtracting 115 from 120 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
23 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20868.5652
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20868.56521
Subtracting 23 from 40 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20868.565217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20868.5652173
Deduct 69 from 90 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20868.56521739
If we take 207 away from 210, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20868.56521739 and a remainder of 3e-09.
