Let's divide 21623473 by 842
We want to figure out the number of times 21623473 can be divided by 842.

Step 1:
The number 842 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 842

On to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 842, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 216 / 842

Step 3:
The number 842 fits into 216 0 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 216 to get 216.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 216 and continue: 2162 / 842

On to step 4:
If we divide 2162 by 842, we get 2 and a remainder of 478.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1684 from 2162 leaves us with 478.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 478, then repeat: 4783 / 842

On to step 5:
842 can be fit into 4783 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 573.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 573 after subtracting 4210 from 4783.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 573 and continue: 5734 / 842

Moving on to step 6:
The number 842 fits into 5734 6 times, leaving a remainder of 682.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256.0
The remainder is 682 after subtracting 5052 from 5734.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 682 and continue: 6827 / 842

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 6827 by 842, we get 8 with a remainder of 91.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2568.0
If we subtract 6736 from 6827, we get 91.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 91, then repeat: 913 / 842

Advancing to step 8:
842 can be fit into 913 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25681.0
Subtracting 842 from 913 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
842 goes into 710 0 times with a remainder of 710.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25681.0
Deduct 0 from 710 and we're left with 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
842 can be fit into 7100 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 364.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25681.08
Subtract 6736 from 7100 to get 364.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 3640 by 842, we get 4 with a remainder of 272.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25681.084
Subtract 3368 from 3640 to get 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Step 12:
842 can be fit into 2720 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 194.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 25681.0843
Deduct 2526 from 2720 and we're left with 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 1940 by 842, we get 2 and a remainder of 256.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25681.08432
Subtract 1684 from 1940 to get 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 842 fits into 2560 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25681.084323
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 2526 from 2560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 340 by 842, we get 0 with a remainder of 340.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25681.084323
Subtract 0 from 340 to get 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 842 fits into 3400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25681.08432304
Subtract 3368 from 3400 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 25681.08432304 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
