539829 ÷ 23 
We want to divide 539829 by 23.

On to step 1:
23 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 23

Step 2:
23 can be fit into 53 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 46 from 53 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 goes into 79 3 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 69 from 79, we get 10.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 108 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
23 can be fit into 108 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 234.0
If we take 92 away from 108, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 162 / 23

On to step 5:
23 can be fit into 162 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2347.0
Subtracting 161 from 162 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23470.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
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: 23470.8
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 23470.82
If we take 46 away from 60, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 140 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23470.826
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.

Moving on to step 10:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23470.826
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23470.82608
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23470.826086
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
23 goes into 220 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23470.8260869
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 23470.82608695
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.

Our division results in 23470.82608695 with a remaining 1.5e-08.
