We're dividing 48159 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 48159 can be divided by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 23

On to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 46 from 48 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 21 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 215 / 23

Step 4:
215 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 209.0
Subtracting 207 from 215 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 23

On to step 5:
23 goes into 89 3 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2093.0
Deduct 69 from 89 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2093.8
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
160 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2093.86
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2093.869
Deduct 207 from 220 and we're left with 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 9:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2093.8695
If we take 115 away from 130, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2093.86956
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 138 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
23 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2093.869565
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.

On to step 12:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2093.8695652
Subtracting 46 from 50 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
The number 23 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2093.86956521
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 2093.86956521 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
