We're dividing 249986 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 249986.

Step 1:
23 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 23 from 24 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 23

Step 3:
The number 23 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 199 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 199 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 15.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we subtract 184 from 199, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 23

On to step 5:
When dividing 158 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1086.0
If we subtract 138 from 158, we get 20.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 206 / 23

On to step 6:
23 goes into 206 8 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10868.0
Subtracting 184 from 206 leaves us 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 7:
If we divide 220 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10868.9
Subtract 207 from 220 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10868.95
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
23 can be fit into 150 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10868.956
Subtract 138 from 150 to 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.

On to step 10:
120 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10868.9565
Subtracting 115 from 120 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10868.95652
Subtract 46 from 50 to 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.

On to step 12:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10868.956521
If we take 23 away from 40, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 23 fits into 170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10868.9565217
If we subtract 161 from 170, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10868.95652173
Subtract 69 from 90 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10868.95652173 with a remaining 2.1e-08.
