Let's divide 20742 by 23
Our goal is to divide 20742 by 23.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 23

Step 2:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 207 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 goes into 207 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 207 from 207 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 90.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 23

Step 5:
23 goes into 42 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 901.0
If we take 23 away from 42, 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 901.8
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 901.82
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 901.826
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 901.826
Subtracting 0 from 20 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 901.82608
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
160 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 901.826086
Subtract 138 from 160 to 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.

Moving on to step 12:
23 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 901.8260869
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 130 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 901.82608695
Deduct 115 from 130 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 901.82608695, and the remainder is 1.5e-08.
