We're dividing 34690 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 34690 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
23 goes into 34 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 23 from 34.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 116 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 can be fit into 116 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 115 from 116, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 23

Step 4:
If we divide 19 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 150.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 190 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1508.0
Deduct 184 from 190 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 60 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1508.2
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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 140 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1508.26
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
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 8:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1508.26
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1508.2608
Subtract 184 from 200 to 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 10:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1508.26086
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1508.260869
Deduct 207 from 220 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
130 divided by 23 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1508.2608695
Subtracting 115 from 130 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 13:
23 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1508.26086956
If we subtract 138 from 150, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1508.26086956 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
