We're dividing 654983 by 23 
We want to divide 654983 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 65 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 65 2 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 65, we get 19.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 194 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 194 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 184 from 194 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 109 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 284.0
If we subtract 92 from 109, we get 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 23

Step 5:
If we divide 178 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2847.0
If we take 161 away from 178, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 173 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 173 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28477.0
If we subtract 161 from 173, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 28477.5
Deduct 115 from 120 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
23 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28477.52
If we take 46 away from 50, we end up with 4.
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 9:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28477.521
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 28477.5217
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 161 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 11:
23 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 28477.52173
If we take 69 away from 90, we end up 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.

Step 12:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28477.521739
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 207 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 28477.5217391
If we subtract 23 from 30, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28477.52173913
Deduct 69 from 70 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 28477.52173913 and a remainder of 1e-09.
