We're dividing 221896 by 23 
We want to divide 221896 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 23

On to step 2:
23 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
221 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 207 from 221, we get 14.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 148 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 148 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we take 138 away from 148, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 109 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 109 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 964.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 92 from 109.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 176 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 176 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9647.0
If we subtract 161 from 176, we 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 7:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9647.6
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 138 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
120 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9647.65
If we take 115 away from 120, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9647.652
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9647.6521
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9647.65217
If we subtract 161 from 170, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9647.652173
Subtract 69 from 90 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 13:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9647.6521739
Deduct 207 from 210 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9647.65217391
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The final result is 9647.65217391 with a remainder of 7e-09.
