Let's divide 988251 by 23
Our goal is to divide 988251 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 98 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 92 from 98, we get 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 can be fit into 68 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 46 from 68 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 222 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 222 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 429.0
Subtracting 207 from 222 leaves us with 15.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 155 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
155 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4296.0
Subtract 138 from 155 to get 17.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 171 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 can be fit into 171 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 42967.0
Deduct 161 from 171 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42967.4
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42967.43
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42967.434
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42967.4347
Subtract 161 from 180 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 190 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42967.43478
Subtract 184 from 190 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
23 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42967.434782
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42967.4347826
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.

Advancing to step 14:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42967.4347826
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 42967.4347826, with a leftover of 2e-08.
