144477 ÷ 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 144477.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 144 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 144 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 138 from 144.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 23

On to step 4:
When dividing 64 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtracting 46 from 64 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 187 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 628.0
Subtracting 184 from 187 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 23

Step 6:
When dividing 37 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6281.0
If we take 23 away from 37, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6281.6
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.

Going ahead 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: 6281.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6281.608
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:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6281.6086
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 6281.60869
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.

Step 12:
The number 23 fits into 130 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6281.608695
Subtract 115 from 130 to get 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.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6281.6086956
If we subtract 138 from 150, we 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6281.60869565
If we subtract 115 from 120, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6281.60869565, with a leftover of 5e-09.
