We divide 296179 by 23
We want to divide 296179 by 23.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 23

On to step 2:
23 can be fit into 29 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 23 away from 29, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 66 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 66 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 46 from 66 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 201 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 201 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 128.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 184 from 201.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 177 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1287.0
Subtracting 161 from 177 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 23

Step 6:
169 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12877.0
If we subtract 161 from 169, 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.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12877.3
Subtract 69 from 80 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12877.34
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12877.347
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 161 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12877.3478
Deduct 184 from 190 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12877.34782
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12877.347826
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: 12877.347826
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 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:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12877.34782608
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
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 12877.34782608 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
