We're dividing 161029 by 23 
We want to divide 161029 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 23

On to step 3:
When dividing 161 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 161 from 161.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 0 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 700.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
29 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7001.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 23 from 29.
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 7:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7001.2
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 23 fits into 140 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7001.26
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.

On to step 9:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7001.26
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7001.2608
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
23 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7001.26086
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 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 12:
If we divide 220 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7001.260869
Subtract 207 from 220 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7001.2608695
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7001.26086956
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.

The final result is 7001.26086956 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
