Let's divide 88979 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 88979.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 23

Step 2:
If we divide 88 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 69 from 88 to get 19.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 199 / 23

Step 3:
The number 23 fits into 199 8 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 184 from 199 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 goes into 157 6 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 386.0
Subtract 138 from 157 to get 19.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 199 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
199 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3868.0
Deduct 184 from 199 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3868.6
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3868.65
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.

Advancing to step 8:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3868.652
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3868.6521
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 23 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3868.65217
Subtracting 161 from 170 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3868.652173
If we subtract 69 from 90, we get 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 12:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3868.6521739
If we take 207 away from 210, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3868.65217391
If we subtract 23 from 30, we get 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 quotient of the division is 3868.65217391, and the remainder is 7e-09.
