We divide 3217 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 3217.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 23

Step 2:
23 can be fit into 32 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 23 away from 32, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 91 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 91 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 69 away from 91, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
227 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
Subtracting 207 from 227 leaves us 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.

Step 5:
When dividing 200 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 139.8
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 139.86
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 7:
23 goes into 220 9 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139.869
Subtracting 207 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 139.8695
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 115 from 130.
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 9:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139.86956
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 goes into 120 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 139.869565
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
50 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 139.8695652
Subtract 46 from 50 to get 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 12:
When dividing 40 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 139.86956521
If we subtract 23 from 40, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 139.86956521 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
