We look at the division of 852791 by 23 
We want to divide 852791 by 23.

Step 1:
8 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 85 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 69 from 85.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 162 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 162 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 161 away from 162, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 23

On to step 4:
17 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 370.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
179 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3707.0
If we take 161 away from 179, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 181 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 181 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37077.0
Subtracting 161 from 181 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37077.8
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.

On to step 8:
23 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37077.86
Subtracting 138 from 160 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 9:
If we divide 220 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 37077.869
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 37077.8695
Subtract 115 from 130 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37077.86956
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 12:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37077.869565
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 13:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37077.8695652
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 14:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37077.86956521
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 37077.86956521 with a balance of 1.7e-08.
