We look at the division of 879952 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 879952.

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 take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
23 can be fit into 87 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 69 from 87 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 189 / 23

Step 3:
23 goes into 189 8 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 184 from 189 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 59 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 382.0
If we subtract 46 from 59, we get 13.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 135 / 23

On to step 5:
135 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3825.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 115 from 135.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 202 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
202 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38258.0
Subtract 184 from 202 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38258.7
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38258.78
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38258.782
Subtract 46 from 60 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 38258.7826
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38258.7826
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38258.782608
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38258.7826086
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 38258.78260869
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.

Our division results in 38258.78260869 with a remaining 1.3e-08.
