We're dividing 117984 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 117984.

Advancing to step 1:
23 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 11 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 117 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 117 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 115 from 117 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 23

Step 4:
The number 23 fits into 29 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Deduct 23 from 29 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
23 can be fit into 68 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 512.0
If we subtract 46 from 68, we get 22.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 224 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 can be fit into 224 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5129.0
Deduct 207 from 224 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 7:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5129.7
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left with 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 8:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5129.73
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5129.739
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.

Advancing to step 10:
23 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5129.7391
Subtracting 23 from 30 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5129.73913
If we take 69 away from 70, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 10 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5129.73913
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 100 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5129.7391304
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5129.73913043
Subtract 69 from 80 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5129.73913043, and the remainder is 1.1e-08.
