We divide 157122 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 157122 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 23

Step 3:
157 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 138 from 157, we get 19.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 191 / 23

Step 4:
The number 23 fits into 191 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 184 from 191, we get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
72 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 683.0
If we subtract 69 from 72, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 23

On to step 6:
23 can be fit into 32 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6831.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 23 from 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6831.3
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 8:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6831.39
If we subtract 207 from 210, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6831.391
If we subtract 23 from 30, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 70 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6831.3913
Deduct 69 from 70 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
23 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6831.3913
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6831.391304
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
23 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6831.3913043
Subtract 69 from 80 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6831.39130434
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6831.39130434, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
