We're dividing 23959189 by 542 
We're looking to find how many times 542 goes into 23959189.

On to step 1:
542 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 542

Advancing to step 2:
The number 542 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 542

Step 3:
542 goes into 239 0 times with a remainder of 239.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 239 after subtracting 0 from 239.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 239, then repeat: 2395 / 542

Step 4:
542 goes into 2395 4 times with a remainder of 227.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 2168 from 2395, we get 227.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 227, then carry on: 2279 / 542

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 2279 by 542, we get 4 and a remainder of 111.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 2168 from 2279 to get 111.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 111, then repeat: 1111 / 542

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 542 fits into 1111 2 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 442.0
Deduct 1084 from 1111 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 542

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 278 by 542, we get 0 with a remainder of 278.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4420.0
If we take 0 away from 278, we end up with 278.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 278 and repeat the process: 2789 / 542

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 542 fits into 2789 5 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44205.0
Deduct 2710 from 2789 and we're left with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 9:
790 divided by 542 is 1 with a remainder of 248.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44205.1
Subtract 542 from 790 to get 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 2480 by 542, we get 4 and a remainder of 312.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44205.14
If we subtract 2168 from 2480, we get 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 542 fits into 3120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 410.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 44205.145
The remainder is 410 after subtracting 2710 from 3120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 4100 by 542, we get 7 with a remainder of 306.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44205.1457
If we take 3794 away from 4100, we end up with 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 3060 by 542, we get 5 and a remainder of 350.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44205.14575
If we subtract 2710 from 3060, we get 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3500, and continue the process.

Step 14:
542 can be fit into 3500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 248.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44205.145756
If we subtract 3252 from 3500, we get 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 2480 by 542, we get 4 and a remainder of 312.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44205.1457564
The remainder is 312 after subtracting 2168 from 2480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 3120 by 542, we get 5 and a remainder of 410.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44205.14575645
The remainder is 410 after subtracting 2710 from 3120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4100, and continue the process.

The final result is 44205.14575645 with a remainder of 4.1e-07.
