23846 ÷ 88 
We want to divide 23846 by 88.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 88

On to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 238 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 62.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 176 from 238 to get 62.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 624 / 88

Moving on to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 624 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 616 from 624 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 86 0 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 270.0
Subtracting 0 from 86 leaves us with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
88 goes into 860 9 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 270.9
Subtracting 792 from 860 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 7:
680 divided by 88 is 7 with a remainder of 64.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 270.97
If we take 616 away from 680, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 270.977
Subtracting 616 from 640 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 270.977 with a balance of 0.0024.
