Let's divide 275959 by 23
Our goal is to divide 275959 by 23.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 23 from 27 to get 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 23

Step 3:
When dividing 45 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 23 from 45, we get 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 229 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 207 from 229.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 225 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
23 can be fit into 225 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1199.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 207 from 225.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
189 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11998.0
If we subtract 184 from 189, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11998.2
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11998.21
Subtracting 23 from 40 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 170 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11998.217
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.

Step 10:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11998.2173
If we subtract 69 from 90, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11998.21739
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11998.217391
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11998.2173913
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11998.2173913
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Our division results in 11998.2173913 with a remaining 1e-08.
