We divide 659717 by 23
We want to divide 659717 by 23.

On to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 65 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 19.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 65, we get 19.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 199 / 23

Step 3:
23 can be fit into 199 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 184 from 199 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 157 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 19.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 286.0
Subtract 138 from 157 to get 19.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 191 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 191 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2868.0
Subtracting 184 from 191 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 23

On to step 6:
If we divide 77 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 28683.0
Subtracting 69 from 77 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28683.3
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 69 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28683.34
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28683.347
If we take 161 away from 180, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28683.3478
Subtracting 184 from 190 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 28683.34782
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28683.347826
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28683.347826
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28683.34782608
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 28683.34782608 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
