Let's divide 294523 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 294523.

On to step 1:
23 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 can be fit into 29 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 23 from 29 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 23

On to step 3:
64 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 46 from 64, we get 18.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 185 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 185 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128.0
Deduct 184 from 185 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 12 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1280.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 123 / 23

On to step 6:
123 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12805.0
If we take 115 away from 123, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12805.3
If we subtract 69 from 80, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12805.34
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 9:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12805.347
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 12805.3478
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 12805.34782
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12805.347826
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12805.347826
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.

Moving on to step 14:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12805.34782608
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12805.34782608 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
