Let's divide 532871 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 532871 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 can be fit into 53 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 46 from 53 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 72 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 69 from 72, we get 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 38 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 231.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 23 from 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 goes into 157 6 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2316.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 138 from 157.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 191 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
191 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23168.0
If we subtract 184 from 191, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23168.3
If we subtract 69 from 70, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23168.3
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

Step 9:
The number 23 fits into 100 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23168.304
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23168.3043
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.

Advancing to step 11:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23168.30434
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
180 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23168.304347
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23168.3043478
Subtracting 184 from 190 leaves us 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.

Step 14:
When dividing 60 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23168.30434782
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.

The final result is 23168.30434782 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
