We're dividing 478818 by 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 478818.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
47 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 46 from 47 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 23

On to step 3:
18 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 goes into 188 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 208.0
If we take 184 away from 188, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 41 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2081.0
Subtracting 23 from 41 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 goes into 188 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20818.0
If we take 184 away from 188, we end up with 4.
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 7:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20818.1
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left with 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 8:
23 can be fit into 170 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20818.17
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 9:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20818.173
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 10:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20818.1739
Subtracting 207 from 210 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20818.17391
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
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: 20818.173913
If we subtract 69 from 70, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 10 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20818.173913
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
23 can be fit into 100 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20818.17391304
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.

Our division results in 20818.17391304 with a remaining 8e-09.
