We look at the division of 504961 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 504961.

Step 1:
23 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 46 from 50 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 23

On to step 3:
23 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 23 from 44, we get 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 219 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 219.0
Subtracting 207 from 219 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 126 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 126 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2195.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 115 from 126.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 111 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
23 can be fit into 111 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21954.0
If we take 92 away from 111, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
23 can be fit into 190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21954.8
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.

Step 8:
23 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21954.82
If we subtract 46 from 60, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21954.826
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21954.826
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21954.82608
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21954.826086
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
23 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21954.8260869
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
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: 21954.82608695
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.

After the division, we end up with 21954.82608695 and a remainder of 1.5e-08.
