We're dividing 518476 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 518476 by 23.

Moving on to 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
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 51 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 46 away from 51, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
23 can be fit into 58 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 46 from 58 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 23

On to step 4:
124 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 225.0
If we take 115 away from 124, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 23

On to step 5:
97 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2254.0
Subtracting 92 from 97 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
56 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22542.0
If we subtract 46 from 56, 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 7:
100 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22542.4
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
23 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22542.43
Subtracting 69 from 80 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22542.434
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.

Step 10:
180 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22542.4347
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up 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.

Step 11:
23 can be fit into 190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22542.43478
Subtract 184 from 190 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
23 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22542.434782
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
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 13:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 22542.4347826
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
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 14:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22542.4347826
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

The final result is 22542.4347826 with a remainder of 2e-08.
