8978103 divided by 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 8978103.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 89 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 69 from 89.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 207 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 207 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 207 from 207 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 23

On to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 390.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 23

Step 5:
If we divide 81 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3903.0
Subtracting 69 from 81 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 120 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39035.0
If we subtract 115 from 120, we get 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 23

Moving on to step 7:
23 goes into 53 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 390352.0
If we take 46 away from 53, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
23 goes into 70 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 390352.3
Subtract 69 from 70 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 390352.3
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 390352.304
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.

Moving on to step 11:
23 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 390352.3043
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 12:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 390352.30434
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 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 13:
23 can be fit into 180 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 390352.304347
If we take 161 away from 180, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 390352.3043478
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 390352.30434782
Subtract 46 from 60 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 390352.30434782 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
