We're dividing 496814 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 496814 can be divided by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
23 can be fit into 49 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 46 from 49.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 36 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 23 from 36.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 138 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 216.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 138 from 138.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 23

Step 5:
23 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2160.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21600.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21600.6
Subtract 138 from 140 to 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21600.6
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21600.608
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21600.6086
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
23 goes into 220 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21600.60869
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 12:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21600.608695
If we subtract 115 from 130, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 21600.6086956
Subtract 138 from 150 to get 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 14:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21600.60869565
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.

Our division results in 21600.60869565 with a remaining 5e-09.
