We divide 554864 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 554864 can be divided by 23.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 can be fit into 55 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 46 from 55 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 94 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 can be fit into 94 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 92 from 94 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 goes into 28 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 241.0
If we subtract 23 from 28, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 56 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2412.0
Deduct 46 from 56 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 104 / 23

On to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 104 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24124.0
Subtract 92 from 104 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24124.5
If we subtract 115 from 120, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24124.52
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24124.521
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 10:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24124.5217
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24124.52173
Subtracting 69 from 90 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24124.521739
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24124.5217391
Subtract 23 from 30 to 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.

Step 14:
23 goes into 70 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24124.52173913
Subtract 69 from 70 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 24124.52173913 with a balance of 1e-09.
