We look at the division of 873142 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 873142 by 23.

On to step 1:
23 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 87 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 69 from 87, we get 18.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 183 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 183 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 161 away from 183, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 221 / 23

On to step 4:
221 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 379.0
Deduct 207 from 221 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 23

On to step 5:
144 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3796.0
If we subtract 138 from 144, we get 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
23 can be fit into 62 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37962.0
Deduct 46 from 62 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
23 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37962.6
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
23 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37962.69
Deduct 207 from 220 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37962.695
Subtract 115 from 130 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37962.6956
Subtracting 138 from 150 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
23 goes into 120 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37962.69565
Subtract 115 from 120 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37962.695652
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37962.6956521
If we subtract 23 from 40, 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37962.69565217
Deduct 161 from 170 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 37962.69565217, and the remainder is 9e-09.
