We look at the division of 971041 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 971041 by 23.

On to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 23

Step 2:
If we divide 97 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 92 away from 97, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 51 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 46 from 51, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 422.0
If we take 46 away from 50, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 23

On to step 5:
23 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4221.0
Subtracting 23 from 44 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 211 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
211 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42219.0
Subtracting 207 from 211 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42219.1
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left with 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 8:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42219.17
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 161 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 42219.173
Deduct 69 from 90 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 210 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42219.1739
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.

On to step 11:
23 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42219.17391
Subtracting 23 from 30 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
The number 23 fits into 70 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42219.173913
If we subtract 69 from 70, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 10 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42219.173913
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42219.17391304
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 42219.17391304 with a balance of 8e-09.
