Let's divide 145689 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 145689.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 23, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 23

Step 2:
23 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 145 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 138 from 145 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 23

Step 4:
The number 23 fits into 76 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtracting 69 from 76 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 23

On to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 78 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 633.0
Subtracting 69 from 78 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
99 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6334.0
Deduct 92 from 99 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6334.3
Subtracting 69 from 70 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6334.3
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
23 can be fit into 100 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6334.304
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6334.3043
If we subtract 69 from 80, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6334.30434
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6334.304347
If we subtract 161 from 180, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6334.3043478
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.

Step 14:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6334.30434782
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6334.30434782 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
