Let's divide 248143 by 23
Our goal is to divide 248143 by 23.

Moving on 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
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 23

On to step 2:
23 can be fit into 24 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 23 from 24 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 181 / 23

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 181 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 107.0
If we take 161 away from 181, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 204 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 can be fit into 204 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1078.0
Subtracting 184 from 204 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 203 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 203 8 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10788.0
Subtract 184 from 203 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10788.8
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10788.82
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 9:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10788.826
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 10:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10788.826
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10788.82608
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 12:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10788.826086
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10788.8260869
Deduct 207 from 220 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 130 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10788.82608695
Subtract 115 from 130 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10788.82608695 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
