970740 ÷ 23 
Our goal is to divide 970740 by 23.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 97 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 92 from 97 to get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 46 away from 50, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 47 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 422.0
Subtracting 46 from 47 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
23 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4220.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42206.0
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 7:
When dividing 20 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42206.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42206.08
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42206.086
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42206.0869
Deduct 207 from 220 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42206.08695
If we subtract 115 from 130, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42206.086956
If we subtract 138 from 150, we get 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.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42206.0869565
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 115 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42206.08695652
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 42206.08695652 with a balance of 4e-09.
