We look at the division of 23917940 by 497 
We want to divide 23917940 by 497.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 497, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 497

Let's proceed to step 2:
497 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 497

Let's proceed to step 3:
497 goes into 239 0 times with a remainder of 239.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 239 after subtracting 0 from 239.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 239 and continue: 2391 / 497

On to step 4:
When dividing 2391 by 497, we get 4 with a remainder of 403.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 1988 from 2391 leaves us with 403.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 403 and continue: 4037 / 497

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 497 fits into 4037 8 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 3976 from 4037, we get 61.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 619 / 497

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 619 by 497, we get 1 with a remainder of 122.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 481.0
The remainder is 122 after subtracting 497 from 619.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 122, then repeat: 1224 / 497

On to step 7:
The number 497 fits into 1224 2 times, leaving a remainder of 230.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4812.0
Subtracting 994 from 1224 leaves us with 230.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 230, then repeat: 2300 / 497

Advancing to step 8:
497 can be fit into 2300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 312.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48124.0
If we take 1988 away from 2300, we end up with 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
497 can be fit into 3120 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 138.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48124.6
Subtracting 2982 from 3120 leaves us with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
497 can be fit into 1380 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 386.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48124.62
The remainder is 386 after subtracting 994 from 1380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
497 can be fit into 3860 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 381.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48124.627
The remainder is 381 after subtracting 3479 from 3860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
497 goes into 3810 7 times with a remainder of 331.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48124.6277
If we take 3479 away from 3810, we end up with 331.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3310, and continue the process.

The final result is 48124.6277 with a remainder of 0.00331.
