Let's divide 697486 by 23
We want to divide 697486 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 69 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 69 from 69 to get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 23

On to step 3:
When dividing 7 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 23

Step 4:
The number 23 fits into 74 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 303.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 69 from 74.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 58 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3032.0
Subtract 46 from 58 to get 12.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 126 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 can be fit into 126 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 30325.0
If we subtract 115 from 126, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30325.4
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 30325.47
If we subtract 161 from 180, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 190 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30325.478
Subtracting 184 from 190 leaves us with 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 10:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30325.4782
If we subtract 46 from 60, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 30325.47826
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30325.47826
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.

Advancing to step 13:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30325.4782608
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30325.47826086
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 30325.47826086 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
