We're dividing 48131 by 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 48131.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 23

On to step 2:
48 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 46 away from 48, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 21 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 213 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 213 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 209.0
If we subtract 207 from 213, we get 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 61 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2092.0
Deduct 46 from 61 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 6:
23 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2092.6
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 138 from 150.
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 7:
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: 2092.65
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2092.652
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2092.6521
If we take 23 away from 40, we end up 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 10:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2092.65217
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 90 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2092.652173
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 69 from 90.
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 next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2092.6521739
If we subtract 207 from 210, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
23 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2092.65217391
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 23 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2092.65217391 with a balance of 7e-09.
