279365 divided by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 279365 can be divided by 23.

Moving on to step 1:
23 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 23 away from 27, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 can be fit into 49 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 46 from 49 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 33 / 23

Step 4:
23 goes into 33 1 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 23 from 33.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 106 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
The number 23 fits into 106 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1214.0
Deduct 92 from 106 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 145 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 can be fit into 145 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12146.0
If we take 138 away from 145, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12146.3
Subtract 69 from 70 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12146.3
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 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 9:
23 can be fit into 100 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12146.304
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.

Step 10:
80 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12146.3043
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 69 from 80.
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 11:
When dividing 110 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12146.30434
If we subtract 92 from 110, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
23 goes into 180 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12146.304347
If we subtract 161 from 180, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12146.3043478
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.

Step 14:
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: 12146.30434782
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12146.30434782 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
