We're dividing 23699971 by 462 
Let's see how many times 462 fits into 23699971.

Let's proceed to step 1:
462 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 462

Step 2:
If we divide 23 by 462, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 236 / 462

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 236 by 462, we get 0 with a remainder of 236.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 236, we end up with 236.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 236 and continue with: 2369 / 462

Moving on to step 4:
The number 462 fits into 2369 5 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 2310 from 2369, we get 59.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 599 / 462

Moving on to step 5:
462 goes into 599 1 times with a remainder of 137.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 462 from 599 leaves us with 137.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 137, then carry on: 1379 / 462

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 462 fits into 1379 2 times, leaving a remainder of 455.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 512.0
If we take 924 away from 1379, we end up with 455.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 455 and continue with: 4557 / 462

Going ahead to step 7:
462 goes into 4557 9 times with a remainder of 399.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5129.0
If we subtract 4158 from 4557, we get 399.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 399, then carry on: 3991 / 462

Let's proceed to step 8:
462 goes into 3991 8 times with a remainder of 295.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51298.0
Deduct 3696 from 3991 and we're left with 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 2950 by 462, we get 6 with a remainder of 178.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51298.6
If we subtract 2772 from 2950, we get 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1780 by 462, we get 3 with a remainder of 394.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51298.63
Subtract 1386 from 1780 to get 394.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
3940 divided by 462 is 8 with a remainder of 244.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51298.638
If we take 3696 away from 3940, we end up with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 462 fits into 2440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 130.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51298.6385
Subtracting 2310 from 2440 leaves us with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 1300 by 462, we get 2 and a remainder of 376.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51298.63852
The remainder is 376 after subtracting 924 from 1300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 3760 by 462, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51298.638528
Subtracting 3696 from 3760 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
462 can be fit into 640 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 178.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51298.6385281
If we take 462 away from 640, we end up with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
462 goes into 1780 3 times with a remainder of 394.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51298.63852813
Subtract 1386 from 1780 to get 394.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3940, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 51298.63852813 and a remainder of 3.94e-07.
