We divide 208888 by 23
Our goal is to divide 208888 by 23.

Step 1:
23 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 208 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
23 goes into 208 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 207 away from 208, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 18 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 188 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 908.0
Deduct 184 from 188 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 23

On to step 6:
23 can be fit into 48 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9082.0
If we subtract 46 from 48, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9082.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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 8:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9082.08
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
23 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9082.086
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 220 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9082.0869
Subtracting 207 from 220 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9082.08695
Deduct 115 from 130 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9082.086956
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9082.0869565
Subtract 115 from 120 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9082.08695652
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9082.08695652 with a remaining 4e-09.
