We divide 23142 by 61
We want to divide 23142 by 61.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 61

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 61

Step 3:
If we divide 231 by 61, we get 3 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 183 from 231.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 484 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
484 divided by 61 is 7 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtracting 427 from 484 leaves us with 57.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 572 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 572 by 61, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 379.0
Subtract 549 from 572 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
61 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 379.3
Deduct 183 from 230 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 470 by 61, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 379.37
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 427 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 430 by 61, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 379.377
Subtracting 427 from 430 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 379.377 with a balance of 0.0003.
