We're dividing 23845494 by 423 
We're looking to find how many times 423 goes into 23845494.

On to step 1:
423 goes into 2 0 times with 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.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 423

Step 2:
23 divided by 423 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 423

Going ahead to step 3:
423 can be fit into 238 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 238.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 238 leaves us with 238.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 238 and repeat the process: 2384 / 423

Advancing to step 4:
The number 423 fits into 2384 5 times, leaving a remainder of 269.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 2115 from 2384 to get 269.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 269 and continue: 2695 / 423

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 2695 by 423, we get 6 with a remainder of 157.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 2538 from 2695, we get 157.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 157, then carry on: 1574 / 423

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 423 fits into 1574 3 times, leaving a remainder of 305.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 563.0
Deduct 1269 from 1574 and we're left with 305.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 305 and continue with: 3059 / 423

On to step 7:
3059 divided by 423 is 7 with a remainder of 98.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5637.0
Subtracting 2961 from 3059 leaves us with 98.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 98 and continue: 984 / 423

Advancing to step 8:
The number 423 fits into 984 2 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56372.0
Subtract 846 from 984 to get 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
1380 divided by 423 is 3 with a remainder of 111.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56372.3
If we subtract 1269 from 1380, we get 111.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 1110 by 423, we get 2 with a remainder of 264.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56372.32
If we subtract 846 from 1110, we get 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
423 goes into 2640 6 times with a remainder of 102.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56372.326
If we take 2538 away from 2640, we end up with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
1020 divided by 423 is 2 with a remainder of 174.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56372.3262
If we take 846 away from 1020, we end up with 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
1740 divided by 423 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56372.32624
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 1692 from 1740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
423 goes into 480 1 times with a remainder of 57.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56372.326241
If we take 423 away from 480, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
423 goes into 570 1 times with a remainder of 147.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56372.3262411
Subtracting 423 from 570 leaves us with 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

The final result is 56372.3262411 with a remainder of 1.47e-06.
