We divide 178865 by 23
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 178865.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 23

Step 3:
The number 23 fits into 178 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 161 away from 178, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
23 goes into 178 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
If we take 161 away from 178, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 23

On to step 5:
When dividing 176 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 777.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 161 from 176.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 155 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 155 6 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7776.0
If we subtract 138 from 155, we 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.

On to step 7:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7776.7
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 161 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7776.73
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7776.739
If we take 207 away from 210, we end up 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.

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: 7776.7391
Deduct 23 from 30 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 70 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7776.73913
Subtracting 69 from 70 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7776.73913
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7776.7391304
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7776.73913043
Deduct 69 from 80 and we're left 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.

The final result is 7776.73913043 with a remainder of 1.1e-08.
