We divide 72141 by 23
We want to divide 72141 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 69 from 72, we get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 can be fit into 31 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 23 from 31 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 23

On to step 4:
84 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 15.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 313.0
Subtracting 69 from 84 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
151 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3136.0
If we take 138 away from 151, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3136.5
Deduct 115 from 130 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
150 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3136.56
Deduct 138 from 150 and we're left with 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 8:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3136.565
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 115 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3136.5652
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
23 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3136.56521
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 23 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3136.565217
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 161 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 90 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3136.5652173
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 69 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 210 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3136.56521739
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3136.56521739 with a balance of 3e-09.
