Let's divide 642381 by 23
Our goal is to divide 642381 by 23.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 64 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 46 from 64 to get 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
23 can be fit into 182 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 161 away from 182, we end up with 21.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 213 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 213 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 279.0
If we take 207 away from 213, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 can be fit into 68 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2792.0
Subtract 46 from 68 to get 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
221 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27929.0
If we subtract 207 from 221, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27929.6
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 27929.6
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 27929.608
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.

Advancing to step 10:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27929.6086
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27929.60869
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 12:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27929.608695
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27929.6086956
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.

Step 14:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27929.60869565
If we subtract 115 from 120, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final result is 27929.60869565 with a remainder of 5e-09.
