117975 divided by 23 
Our goal is to divide 117975 by 23.

On to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 23

Step 2:
If we divide 11 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
23 can be fit into 117 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 115 from 117 to get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 23

On to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 29 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 23 from 29, we get 6.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 67 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
67 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 512.0
If we take 46 away from 67, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 215 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
215 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5129.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 207 from 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
23 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5129.3
Subtracting 69 from 80 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5129.34
If we subtract 92 from 110, we 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.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 5129.347
Subtracting 161 from 180 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5129.3478
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
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 11:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5129.34782
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5129.347826
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5129.347826
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5129.34782608
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us 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.

The final result is 5129.34782608 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
