We're dividing 968498 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 968498 can be divided by 23.

Step 1:
23 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 96 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 92 from 96, we get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 23

Step 3:
23 can be fit into 48 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 46 from 48 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 23

Step 4:
23 goes into 24 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 421.0
Subtract 23 from 24 to get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 23

Step 5:
19 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4210.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 23

On to step 6:
23 goes into 198 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 42108.0
Subtract 184 from 198 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42108.6
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42108.6
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.

On to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42108.608
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up with 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 10:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42108.6086
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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 11:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42108.60869
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 42108.608695
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
23 can be fit into 150 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42108.6086956
Subtracting 138 from 150 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
120 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42108.60869565
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.

After the division, we end up with 42108.60869565 and a remainder of 5e-09.
