We divide 995986 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 995986 can be divided by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 goes into 99 4 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 92 from 99 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
23 goes into 75 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtracting 69 from 75 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 69 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 433.0
Subtract 69 from 69 to get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4330.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 23

On to step 6:
When dividing 86 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43303.0
Subtract 69 from 86 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.

Advancing to step 7:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43303.7
Subtract 161 from 170 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 90 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43303.73
If we take 69 away from 90, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43303.739
If we subtract 207 from 210, we get 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 10:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43303.7391
Subtract 23 from 30 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 70 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43303.73913
Deduct 69 from 70 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 10 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 43303.73913
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 43303.7391304
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
23 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43303.73913043
Subtracting 69 from 80 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Our division results in 43303.73913043 with a remaining 1.1e-08.
