Let's divide 173457 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 173457.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 23

Step 2:
If we divide 17 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
23 goes into 173 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 161 from 173 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 goes into 124 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtract 115 from 124 to get 9.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 95 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 95 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 754.0
Subtracting 92 from 95 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
23 goes into 37 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7541.0
Subtract 23 from 37 to get 14.
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 7:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7541.6
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7541.6
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7541.608
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7541.6086
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7541.60869
Subtract 207 from 220 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7541.608695
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7541.6086956
Subtracting 138 from 150 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
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: 7541.60869565
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 115 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final result is 7541.60869565 with a remainder of 5e-09.
