We look at the division of 171244 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 171244 by 23.

Step 1:
1 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 goes into 171 7 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 161 from 171.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 102 / 23

Step 4:
The number 23 fits into 102 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we subtract 92 from 102, we get 10.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 104 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
104 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 744.0
Subtract 92 from 104 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
124 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7445.0
If we subtract 115 from 124, we get 9.
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 7:
23 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7445.3
If we subtract 69 from 90, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
23 can be fit into 210 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7445.39
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 207 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7445.391
Subtracting 23 from 30 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
23 goes into 70 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7445.3913
If we take 69 away from 70, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7445.3913
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7445.391304
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7445.3913043
If we take 69 away from 80, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7445.39130434
Subtracting 92 from 110 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7445.39130434 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
