We're dividing 969979 by 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 969979.

Step 1:
23 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 96 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 92 from 96.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
49 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 46 from 49.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 39 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 421.0
If we subtract 23 from 39, we get 16.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
167 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4217.0
Subtract 161 from 167 to get 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
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: 42173.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 69 from 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42173.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42173.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 42173.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
