409204 ÷ 23 
Our goal is to divide 409204 by 23.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
23 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left with 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 23

On to step 3:
When dividing 179 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 161 from 179 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 182 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
23 goes into 182 7 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 161 from 182.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 210 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1779.0
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 23

On to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 34 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17791.0
Deduct 23 from 34 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17791.4
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up 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.

Step 8:
180 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17791.47
Subtracting 161 from 180 leaves us 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 9:
23 can be fit into 190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17791.478
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17791.4782
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us 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 11:
If we divide 140 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17791.47826
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17791.47826
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17791.4782608
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17791.47826086
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17791.47826086 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
