Let's divide 878718 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 878718 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 23

On to step 2:
87 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 69 from 87 to get 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 23

Step 3:
The number 23 fits into 188 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 184 from 188.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 goes into 47 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 382.0
Deduct 46 from 47 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3820.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 23

On to step 6:
When dividing 118 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38205.0
Subtract 115 from 118 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38205.1
Subtract 23 from 30 to 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.

Step 8:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38205.13
If we take 69 away from 70, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38205.13
If we subtract 0 from 10, we 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 10:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38205.1304
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 38205.13043
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 69 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
110 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 38205.130434
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
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: 38205.1304347
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left with 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 14:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38205.13043478
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 38205.13043478 and a remainder of 6e-09.
