287044 divided by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 287044 can be divided by 23.

Step 1:
The number 23 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 23

Step 2:
The number 23 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 23 away from 28, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 57 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 46 away from 57, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 110 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 184 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1248.0
Deduct 184 from 184 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
4 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12480.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12480.1
If we subtract 23 from 40, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12480.17
If we subtract 161 from 170, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12480.173
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 69 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12480.1739
If we take 207 away from 210, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12480.17391
If we subtract 23 from 30, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
23 goes into 70 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12480.173913
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.

Step 13:
23 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12480.173913
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12480.17391304
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us 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.

The final result is 12480.17391304 with a remainder of 8e-09.
