We divide 989951 by 23
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 989951.

Advancing to step 1:
23 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 92 from 98 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 69 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43.0
Deduct 69 from 69 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 9 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 430.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 95 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4304.0
Subtracting 92 from 95 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 23

On to step 6:
23 goes into 31 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43041.0
If we subtract 23 from 31, we get 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 7:
If we divide 80 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43041.3
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 43041.34
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:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43041.347
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.

Advancing to step 10:
23 can be fit into 190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43041.3478
Subtract 184 from 190 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43041.34782
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43041.347826
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43041.347826
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43041.34782608
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 43041.34782608 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
