501401 divided by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 501401 can be divided by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 46 from 50 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 23

On to step 3:
23 goes into 41 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 23 from 41 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 184 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 184 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 218.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 184 from 184.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 23

On to step 5:
23 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2180.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 23

Step 6:
If we divide 1 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21800.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21800.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21800.04
If we subtract 92 from 100, 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 9:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21800.043
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 69 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21800.0434
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left 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 11:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21800.04347
If we subtract 161 from 180, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21800.043478
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21800.0434782
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21800.04347826
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 21800.04347826 with a balance of 2e-09.
