Let's divide 189811 by 23
We want to divide 189811 by 23.

On to step 1:
23 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 23

On to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 189 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
23 goes into 189 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 184 from 189.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 23

On to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 58 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we subtract 46 from 58, we get 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 121 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 825.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 115 from 121.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 61 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8252.0
Deduct 46 from 61 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8252.6
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8252.65
Subtracting 115 from 120 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8252.652
If we take 46 away from 50, 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.

On to step 10:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8252.6521
Subtract 23 from 40 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 170 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8252.65217
Subtracting 161 from 170 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 90 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8252.652173
If we subtract 69 from 90, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 8252.6521739
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8252.65217391
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up 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.

Our division results in 8252.65217391 with a remaining 7e-09.
