We divide 23226397 by 421
Our goal is to divide 23226397 by 421.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 421 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 421

Moving on to step 2:
The number 421 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 232 / 421

Let's proceed to step 3:
421 goes into 232 0 times with a remainder of 232.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 232, we end up with 232.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 232 and continue with: 2322 / 421

Advancing to step 4:
2322 divided by 421 is 5 with a remainder of 217.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 2105 from 2322, we get 217.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 217 and continue with: 2176 / 421

Step 5:
The number 421 fits into 2176 5 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 2105 from 2176, we get 71.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 713 / 421

Let's proceed to step 6:
421 can be fit into 713 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 292.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 551.0
The remainder is 292 after subtracting 421 from 713.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 292 and continue: 2929 / 421

Step 7:
The number 421 fits into 2929 6 times, leaving a remainder of 403.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5516.0
If we subtract 2526 from 2929, we get 403.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 403, then carry on: 4037 / 421

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 4037 by 421, we get 9 with a remainder of 248.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55169.0
If we take 3789 away from 4037, we end up with 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
2480 divided by 421 is 5 with a remainder of 375.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55169.5
If we subtract 2105 from 2480, we get 375.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
421 can be fit into 3750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 382.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55169.58
If we take 3368 away from 3750, we end up with 382.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
421 goes into 3820 9 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55169.589
Subtracting 3789 from 3820 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 310 by 421, we get 0 with a remainder of 310.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55169.589
If we subtract 0 from 310, we get 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
421 goes into 3100 7 times with a remainder of 153.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55169.58907
If we take 2947 away from 3100, we end up with 153.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 1530 by 421, we get 3 and a remainder of 267.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 55169.589073
If we subtract 1263 from 1530, we get 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
421 goes into 2670 6 times with a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55169.5890736
If we subtract 2526 from 2670, we get 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 1440 by 421, we get 3 and a remainder of 177.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55169.58907363
Subtract 1263 from 1440 to get 177.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1770, and continue the process.

Our division results in 55169.58907363 with a remaining 1.77e-07.
