We look at the division of 498664 by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 498664.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 can be fit into 49 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 46 from 49 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 23

Step 3:
23 goes into 38 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 23 from 38 to get 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 23

Step 4:
If we divide 156 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 216.0
If we subtract 138 from 156, we get 18.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 186 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
186 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2168.0
Subtracting 184 from 186 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
24 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21681.0
Subtract 23 from 24 to 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 7:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21681.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
100 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21681.04
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21681.043
If we take 69 away from 80, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21681.0434
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21681.04347
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21681.043478
If we subtract 184 from 190, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21681.0434782
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21681.04347826
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21681.04347826, and the remainder is 2e-09.
