Let's divide 258877 by 23
Our goal is to divide 258877 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
23 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 23 from 25 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 23

Step 3:
When dividing 28 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 23 from 28 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 can be fit into 58 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 46 from 58.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 goes into 127 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1125.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 115 from 127.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
127 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11255.0
Subtracting 115 from 127 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11255.5
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.

On to step 8:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11255.52
Subtracting 46 from 50 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11255.521
If we subtract 23 from 40, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11255.5217
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.

Moving on to step 11:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11255.52173
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11255.521739
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11255.5217391
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 70 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11255.52173913
Subtract 69 from 70 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11255.52173913 with a balance of 1e-09.
