279014 divided by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 279014 can be divided by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
23 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 23 from 27 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 23

On to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 49 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 46 from 49.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 23

Step 4:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtracting 23 from 30 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 71 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1213.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 69 from 71.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 23

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 24 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12131.0
Deduct 23 from 24 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12131.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
100 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12131.04
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12131.043
Subtracting 69 from 80 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 can be fit into 110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12131.0434
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12131.04347
Deduct 161 from 180 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12131.043478
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12131.0434782
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12131.04347826
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12131.04347826 with a balance of 2e-09.
