We divide 427462 by 23
Our goal is to divide 427462 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
23 can be fit into 42 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 23 from 42.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 197 8 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 184 from 197 leaves us with 13.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 134 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 goes into 134 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 185.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 115 from 134.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 196 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1858.0
Deduct 184 from 196 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
122 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18585.0
If we take 115 away from 122, we end up 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 7:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18585.3
If we take 69 away from 70, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18585.3
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
23 can be fit into 100 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18585.304
Subtract 92 from 100 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18585.3043
Deduct 69 from 80 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18585.30434
Subtracting 92 from 110 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18585.304347
Subtracting 161 from 180 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18585.3043478
If we subtract 184 from 190, we get 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 14:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18585.30434782
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18585.30434782, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
