We divide 242549 by 23
We want to figure out the number of times 242549 can be divided by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 23

Step 2:
When dividing 24 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 23 from 24 to get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 23

Step 3:
If we divide 12 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 125 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 can be fit into 125 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 105.0
If we subtract 115 from 125, we get 10.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 23

On to step 5:
23 can be fit into 104 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1054.0
If we subtract 92 from 104, we get 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
129 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10545.0
If we take 115 away from 129, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10545.6
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10545.6
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10545.608
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10545.6086
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10545.60869
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10545.608695
Subtract 115 from 130 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 150 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10545.6086956
Subtract 138 from 150 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10545.60869565
Subtract 115 from 120 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10545.60869565, with a leftover of 5e-09.
