2342145 ÷ 427 
We want to figure out the number of times 2342145 can be divided by 427.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 427, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 427

Step 2:
If we divide 23 by 427, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 427

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 234 by 427, we get 0 with a remainder of 234.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 234, we end up with 234.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 234 and repeat the process: 2342 / 427

Moving on to step 4:
427 can be fit into 2342 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 207.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 207 after subtracting 2135 from 2342.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 207 and repeat the process: 2071 / 427

On to step 5:
The number 427 fits into 2071 4 times, leaving a remainder of 363.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 363 after subtracting 1708 from 2071.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 363, then carry on: 3634 / 427

Moving on to step 6:
The number 427 fits into 3634 8 times, leaving a remainder of 218.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 548.0
If we take 3416 away from 3634, we end up with 218.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 218 and repeat the process: 2185 / 427

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 2185 by 427, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5485.0
If we subtract 2135 from 2185, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
427 can be fit into 500 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5485.1
If we subtract 427 from 500, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 427 fits into 730 1 times, leaving a remainder of 303.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5485.11
Subtracting 427 from 730 leaves us with 303.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3030, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5485.11 with a balance of 0.303.
