We're dividing 52117492 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 52117492.

Let's proceed to step 1:
23 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 can be fit into 52 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 52, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 61 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 46 away from 61, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 151 / 23

Step 4:
23 goes into 151 6 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 226.0
Subtracting 138 from 151 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 137 / 23

On to step 5:
23 goes into 137 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2265.0
If we subtract 115 from 137, we get 22.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 224 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 224 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22659.0
Subtracting 207 from 224 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 23

Moving on to step 7:
179 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 226597.0
Subtracting 161 from 179 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 23

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 182 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2265977.0
Subtract 161 from 182 to 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 9:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2265977.9
Deduct 207 from 210 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2265977.91
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 23 from 30.
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 11:
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: 2265977.913
If we subtract 69 from 70, we get 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 12:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2265977.913
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2265977.91304
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2265977.913043
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 69 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2265977.9130434
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up with 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 16:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2265977.91304347
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2265977.91304347 with a balance of 1.9e-08.
