We divide 980496 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 980496.

On to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 23

On to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 98 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 92 from 98 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
144 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 426.0
Subtract 138 from 144 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
23 goes into 69 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4263.0
Subtracting 69 from 69 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
23 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42630.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42630.2
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42630.26
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42630.26
Subtracting 0 from 20 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 10:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42630.2608
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.

Step 11:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42630.26086
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.

Step 12:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42630.260869
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42630.2608695
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 115 from 130.
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 14:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42630.26086956
Deduct 138 from 150 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 42630.26086956, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
