We divide 473288 by 23
Our goal is to divide 473288 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 23

On to step 2:
23 can be fit into 47 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 47, we get 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 23

Step 3:
23 goes into 13 0 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 132 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 132 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 205.0
Deduct 115 from 132 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 178 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2057.0
If we take 161 away from 178, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 23

Step 6:
The number 23 fits into 178 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 20577.0
Subtracting 161 from 178 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20577.7
If we subtract 161 from 170, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 23 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20577.73
If we take 69 away from 90, we end up with 21.
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 9:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20577.739
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20577.7391
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 23 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 70 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20577.73913
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 69 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20577.73913
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
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: 20577.7391304
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left 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 14:
23 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20577.73913043
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.

The final result is 20577.73913043 with a remainder of 1.1e-08.
