We divide 53439 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 53439.

Step 1:
23 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 goes into 53 2 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 46 away from 53, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 74 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 69 from 74 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 53 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 232.0
Deduct 46 from 53 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 79 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2323.0
If we subtract 69 from 79, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2323.4
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up 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.

Step 7:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2323.43
If we take 69 away from 80, we end up with 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 8:
110 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2323.434
If we subtract 92 from 110, 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.

On to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2323.4347
Subtracting 161 from 180 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
190 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2323.43478
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2323.434782
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2323.4347826
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 13:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2323.4347826
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Our division results in 2323.4347826 with a remaining 2e-08.
