488889 divided by 23 
We want to divide 488889 by 23.

On to step 1:
23 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 23

Step 2:
23 can be fit into 48 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 46 from 48 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 28 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 23 from 28 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 212.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 46 from 58.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 128 5 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2125.0
If we take 115 away from 128, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 139 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 139 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21256.0
If we subtract 138 from 139, 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.

On to step 7:
23 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21256.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21256.04
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21256.043
Deduct 69 from 80 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21256.0434
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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 21256.04347
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left 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 12:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21256.043478
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 13:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21256.0434782
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21256.04347826
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 21256.04347826, and the remainder is 2e-09.
