Let's divide 478001 by 23
Our goal is to divide 478001 by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
23 can be fit into 47 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 46 from 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
18 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 180 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 can be fit into 180 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 207.0
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 190 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
23 can be fit into 190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2078.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 23

On to step 6:
If we divide 61 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20782.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 46 from 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20782.6
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.

Step 8:
23 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20782.65
Deduct 115 from 120 and we're left 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 9:
When dividing 50 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 20782.652
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20782.6521
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20782.65217
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20782.652173
Subtracting 69 from 90 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20782.6521739
Subtract 207 from 210 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.

Moving on to step 14:
23 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20782.65217391
Deduct 23 from 30 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The final result is 20782.65217391 with a remainder of 7e-09.
