Let's divide 23985785 by 481
We want to divide 23985785 by 481.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 481, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 481

Going ahead to step 2:
481 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 481

Step 3:
481 can be fit into 239 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 239.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 239 leaves us with 239.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 239 and continue: 2398 / 481

Advancing to step 4:
481 goes into 2398 4 times with a remainder of 474.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 1924 from 2398 to get 474.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 474, then repeat: 4745 / 481

Advancing to step 5:
481 goes into 4745 9 times with a remainder of 416.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 4329 away from 4745, we end up with 416.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 416, then carry on: 4167 / 481

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 4167 by 481, we get 8 with a remainder of 319.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 498.0
Subtracting 3848 from 4167 leaves us with 319.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 319, then carry on: 3198 / 481

Moving on to step 7:
3198 divided by 481 is 6 with a remainder of 312.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4986.0
Subtracting 2886 from 3198 leaves us with 312.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 312, then repeat: 3125 / 481

Moving on to step 8:
481 goes into 3125 6 times with a remainder of 239.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49866.0
If we take 2886 away from 3125, we end up with 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 2390 by 481, we get 4 with a remainder of 466.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49866.4
If we subtract 1924 from 2390, we get 466.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 4660 by 481, we get 9 and a remainder of 331.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49866.49
If we subtract 4329 from 4660, we get 331.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
481 goes into 3310 6 times with a remainder of 424.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49866.496
The remainder is 424 after subtracting 2886 from 3310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 481 fits into 4240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 392.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49866.4968
Subtract 3848 from 4240 to get 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Step 13:
3920 divided by 481 is 8 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49866.49688
Subtract 3848 from 3920 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 49866.49688 and a remainder of 7.2e-05.
