We're dividing 531607 by 23 
We want to divide 531607 by 23.

Step 1:
23 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 23

On to step 2:
23 goes into 53 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 46 from 53.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 can be fit into 71 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 69 from 71.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 23

On to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 26 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 231.0
Subtract 23 from 26 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2311.0
Subtract 23 from 30 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 77 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 77 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23113.0
Subtract 69 from 77 to 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.

Step 7:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23113.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23113.34
If we subtract 92 from 110, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
23 can be fit into 180 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23113.347
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 161 from 180.
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 10:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23113.3478
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 11:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 23113.34782
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.

On to step 12:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23113.347826
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 13:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23113.347826
If we subtract 0 from 20, 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23113.34782608
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.

Our division results in 23113.34782608 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
