242794 divided by 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 242794.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 goes into 24 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 23 from 24, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 12 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 127 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 105.0
If we subtract 115 from 127, we get 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 23

Step 5:
The number 23 fits into 129 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1055.0
Deduct 115 from 129 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 144 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 144 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10556.0
If we take 138 away from 144, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10556.2
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.

Step 8:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10556.26
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10556.26
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10556.2608
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up 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 11:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10556.26086
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 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 12:
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: 10556.260869
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 207 from 220.
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:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10556.2608695
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10556.26086956
If we subtract 138 from 150, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10556.26086956 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
