We look at the division of 23897518 by 480 
Our goal is to divide 23897518 by 480.

Moving on to step 1:
480 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 480

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 480, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 480

Step 3:
When dividing 238 by 480, we get 0 with a remainder of 238.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 238 to get 238.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 238 and continue: 2389 / 480

Advancing to step 4:
480 can be fit into 2389 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 469.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 1920 from 2389 to get 469.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 469, then carry on: 4697 / 480

Moving on to step 5:
480 goes into 4697 9 times with a remainder of 377.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 4320 from 4697, we get 377.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 377, then carry on: 3775 / 480

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 480 fits into 3775 7 times, leaving a remainder of 415.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 497.0
If we take 3360 away from 3775, we end up with 415.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 415, then carry on: 4151 / 480

Step 7:
480 goes into 4151 8 times with a remainder of 311.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4978.0
Subtracting 3840 from 4151 leaves us with 311.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 311 and continue: 3118 / 480

Advancing to step 8:
480 can be fit into 3118 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 238.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49786.0
Deduct 2880 from 3118 and we're left with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
2380 divided by 480 is 4 with a remainder of 460.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49786.4
Subtracting 1920 from 2380 leaves us with 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 4600 by 480, we get 9 and a remainder of 280.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49786.49
If we take 4320 away from 4600, we end up with 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 2800 by 480, we get 5 and a remainder of 400.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49786.495
Deduct 2400 from 2800 and we're left with 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 4000 by 480, we get 8 and a remainder of 160.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49786.4958
Subtracting 3840 from 4000 leaves us with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
480 can be fit into 1600 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 160.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49786.49583
If we take 1440 away from 1600, we end up with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 1600 by 480, we get 3 with a remainder of 160.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49786.495833
Subtract 1440 from 1600 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 49786.495833, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
