157493 ÷ 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 157493.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 157 6 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 138 from 157 to get 19.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 194 / 23

On to step 4:
When dividing 194 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 184 from 194, we get 10.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 109 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 684.0
Subtract 92 from 109 to get 17.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 173 / 23

Step 6:
If we divide 173 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6847.0
If we take 161 away from 173, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6847.5
If we take 115 away from 120, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6847.52
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6847.521
If we subtract 23 from 40, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6847.5217
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 11:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6847.52173
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6847.521739
If we take 207 away from 210, we end up with 3.
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 13:
23 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6847.5217391
Subtracting 23 from 30 leaves us with 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 14:
If we divide 70 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6847.52173913
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.

The final result is 6847.52173913 with a remainder of 1e-09.
