23142987 divided by 470 
We want to figure out the number of times 23142987 can be divided by 470.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 470, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 470

Moving on to step 2:
470 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 231 / 470

Step 3:
If we divide 231 by 470, we get 0 and a remainder of 231.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 231 after subtracting 0 from 231.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 231 and repeat the process: 2314 / 470

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 2314 by 470, we get 4 and a remainder of 434.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 434 after subtracting 1880 from 2314.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 434, then repeat: 4342 / 470

Moving on to step 5:
The number 470 fits into 4342 9 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 112 after subtracting 4230 from 4342.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 112, then repeat: 1129 / 470

Step 6:
The number 470 fits into 1129 2 times, leaving a remainder of 189.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 492.0
Subtract 940 from 1129 to get 189.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 189, then repeat: 1898 / 470

Step 7:
When dividing 1898 by 470, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4924.0
Deduct 1880 from 1898 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 470

Let's proceed to step 8:
470 goes into 187 0 times with a remainder of 187.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49240.0
Deduct 0 from 187 and we're left with 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

Step 9:
470 can be fit into 1870 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 460.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49240.3
If we take 1410 away from 1870, we end up with 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 470 fits into 4600 9 times, leaving a remainder of 370.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49240.39
Subtracting 4230 from 4600 leaves us with 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
470 can be fit into 3700 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 410.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49240.397
Subtract 3290 from 3700 to get 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
470 goes into 4100 8 times with a remainder of 340.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49240.3978
If we subtract 3760 from 4100, we get 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
3400 divided by 470 is 7 with a remainder of 110.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49240.39787
Subtract 3290 from 3400 to get 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
470 goes into 1100 2 times with a remainder of 160.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49240.397872
Subtract 940 from 1100 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 470 fits into 1600 3 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49240.3978723
Subtract 1410 from 1600 to get 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
470 can be fit into 1900 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49240.39787234
Subtract 1880 from 1900 to 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.

Our division results in 49240.39787234 with a remaining 2e-08.
