We divide 974899 by 23
We want to divide 974899 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 goes into 97 4 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 92 from 97 to get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
54 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 46 from 54, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
88 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 423.0
Deduct 69 from 88 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 199 / 23

Step 5:
199 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4238.0
If we subtract 184 from 199, we get 15.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 159 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42386.0
If we take 138 away from 159, we end up with 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 7:
23 goes into 210 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42386.9
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 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 8:
The number 23 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42386.91
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.

Advancing to step 9:
23 goes into 70 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42386.913
Subtracting 69 from 70 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 10 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42386.913
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42386.91304
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42386.913043
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.

On to step 13:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42386.9130434
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42386.91304347
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.

After the division, we end up with 42386.91304347 and a remainder of 1.9e-08.
