Let's divide 23717842 by 986
We want to divide 23717842 by 986.

Going ahead to step 1:
986 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 986

Moving on to step 2:
The number 986 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 986

Moving on to step 3:
986 goes into 237 0 times with a remainder of 237.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 237 leaves us with 237.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 237, then repeat: 2371 / 986

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 986 fits into 2371 2 times, leaving a remainder of 399.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1972 away from 2371, we end up with 399.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 399, then repeat: 3997 / 986

On to step 5:
The number 986 fits into 3997 4 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 3944 from 3997 and we're left with 53.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 538 / 986

Step 6:
When dividing 538 by 986, we get 0 with a remainder of 538.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240.0
Subtract 0 from 538 to get 538.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 538 and repeat the process: 5384 / 986

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 5384 by 986, we get 5 with a remainder of 454.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2405.0
The remainder is 454 after subtracting 4930 from 5384.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 454 and continue: 4542 / 986

Let's proceed to step 8:
986 goes into 4542 4 times with a remainder of 598.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24054.0
The remainder is 598 after subtracting 3944 from 4542.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 5980 by 986, we get 6 with a remainder of 64.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24054.6
Deduct 5916 from 5980 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 986 fits into 640 0 times, leaving a remainder of 640.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24054.6
Subtract 0 from 640 to get 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
986 can be fit into 6400 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 484.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24054.606
If we take 5916 away from 6400, we end up with 484.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 4840 by 986, we get 4 with a remainder of 896.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24054.6064
Subtracting 3944 from 4840 leaves us with 896.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8960, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 8960 by 986, we get 9 and a remainder of 86.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24054.60649
If we take 8874 away from 8960, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 860 by 986, we get 0 and a remainder of 860.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24054.60649
If we subtract 0 from 860, we get 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8600, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 986 fits into 8600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 712.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 24054.6064908
Subtracting 7888 from 8600 leaves us with 712.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 7120 by 986, we get 7 with a remainder of 218.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 24054.60649087
If we subtract 6902 from 7120, we get 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 24054.60649087 with a remaining 2.18e-07.
