We're dividing 855597 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 855597.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 85 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 69 from 85 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 165 / 23

On to step 3:
23 goes into 165 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtracting 161 from 165 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 45 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 371.0
Subtracting 23 from 45 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 229 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3719.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 207 from 229.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 23

Step 6:
If we divide 227 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 37199.0
If we subtract 207 from 227, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 37199.8
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37199.86
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 goes into 220 9 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37199.869
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 207 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37199.8695
Deduct 115 from 130 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
23 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37199.86956
Subtract 138 from 150 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37199.869565
Deduct 115 from 120 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 50 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37199.8695652
If we take 46 away from 50, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37199.86956521
If we take 23 away from 40, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 37199.86956521 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
