984493 ÷ 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 984493 can be divided by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 92 from 98 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
64 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 46 away from 64, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 184 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 428.0
Subtracting 184 from 184 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 9 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4280.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 93 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 93 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42804.0
Subtracting 92 from 93 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42804.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42804.04
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42804.043
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 10:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42804.0434
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42804.04347
Subtracting 161 from 180 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
190 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 42804.043478
If we subtract 184 from 190, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42804.0434782
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 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 14:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42804.04347826
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 42804.04347826, with a leftover of 2e-09.
