We look at the division of 601589 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 601589 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
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: 2.0
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 141 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 141 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 138 from 141 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
35 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 261.0
If we take 23 away from 35, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 128 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 13.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2615.0
Subtracting 115 from 128 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 139 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
139 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26156.0
If we take 138 away from 139, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 26156.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26156.04
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 26156.043
Subtract 69 from 80 to 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 10:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26156.0434
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26156.04347
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left with 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 12:
190 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 26156.043478
If we subtract 184 from 190, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26156.0434782
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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.

On to step 14:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26156.04347826
If we subtract 138 from 140, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 26156.04347826 with a balance of 2e-09.
