Let's divide 384709 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 384709.

Advancing to step 1:
23 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
38 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 23 away from 38, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 154 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 154 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 138 from 154 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 167 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 167.0
Subtracting 161 from 167 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 60 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1672.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
23 can be fit into 149 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16726.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 138 from 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
23 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16726.4
Subtracting 92 from 110 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
23 can be fit into 180 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16726.47
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16726.478
Subtract 184 from 190 to get 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 10:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16726.4782
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16726.47826
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.

Advancing to step 12:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16726.47826
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16726.4782608
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.

Step 14:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16726.47826086
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16726.47826086 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
