735972 divided by 23 
Our goal is to divide 735972 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
23 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 23

Step 2:
23 goes into 73 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 69 from 73 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
45 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 23 away from 45, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 229 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 319.0
If we subtract 207 from 229, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 227 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3199.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 207 from 227.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 202 / 23

Step 6:
202 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31998.0
Subtracting 184 from 202 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31998.7
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.

Moving on to step 8:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31998.78
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 31998.782
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31998.7826
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31998.7826
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31998.782608
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31998.7826086
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31998.78260869
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final result is 31998.78260869 with a remainder of 1.3e-08.
