278141 ÷ 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 278141.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 27 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 23 from 27, we get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 can be fit into 48 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 46 from 48 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 23

On to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 214 / 23

On to step 5:
When dividing 214 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1209.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 207 from 214.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 71 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12093.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 69 from 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12093.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12093.08
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
160 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12093.086
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12093.0869
If we subtract 207 from 220, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12093.08695
If we take 115 away from 130, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12093.086956
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 138 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 120 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12093.0869565
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 115 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
23 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12093.08695652
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12093.08695652 with a balance of 4e-09.
