We look at the division of 781873 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 781873 can be divided by 23.

Step 1:
The number 23 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 goes into 78 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 69 from 78 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 91 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 69 from 91.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 228 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 339.0
If we subtract 207 from 228, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 23

Step 5:
The number 23 fits into 217 9 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3399.0
If we subtract 207 from 217, we get 10.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 103 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 103 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 33994.0
If we subtract 92 from 103, we 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 7:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33994.4
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33994.47
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33994.478
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
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 10:
23 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33994.4782
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
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 11:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33994.47826
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.

Advancing to step 12:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33994.47826
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 13:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 33994.4782608
If we subtract 184 from 200, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
23 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 33994.47826086
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 33994.47826086, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
