We're dividing 871252 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 871252 by 23.

Step 1:
23 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 69 from 87 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 181 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
23 can be fit into 181 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 161 from 181 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 202 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 202 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 378.0
Subtract 184 from 202 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 185 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 185 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3788.0
If we take 184 away from 185, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 12 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37880.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37880.5
Deduct 115 from 120 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37880.52
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37880.521
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 23 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 10:
170 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37880.5217
Subtracting 161 from 170 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
90 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37880.52173
If we take 69 away from 90, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37880.521739
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37880.5217391
If we take 23 away from 30, 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 14:
If we divide 70 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37880.52173913
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.

The final outcome is 37880.52173913, with a leftover of 1e-09.
