427972 divided by 23 
Our goal is to divide 427972 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
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: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 23 from 42 and we're left with 19.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 197 / 23

Step 3:
When dividing 197 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 13.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 184 from 197, we get 13.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 139 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 goes into 139 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 186.0
Subtract 138 from 139 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1860.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 172 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18607.0
Subtracting 161 from 172 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18607.4
If we subtract 92 from 110, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18607.47
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.

Step 9:
190 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18607.478
Subtracting 184 from 190 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18607.4782
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18607.47826
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18607.47826
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18607.4782608
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18607.47826086
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18607.47826086 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
