Let's divide 438124 by 23
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 438124.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
23 goes into 43 1 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 23 from 43, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 208 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 can be fit into 208 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 207 from 208.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 23

On to step 4:
11 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 190.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 112 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
23 goes into 112 4 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1904.0
If we take 92 away from 112, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 204 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19048.0
Deduct 184 from 204 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19048.8
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.

On to step 8:
160 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19048.86
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19048.869
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.

Moving on to step 10:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19048.8695
Deduct 115 from 130 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19048.86956
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 12:
23 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 19048.869565
Deduct 115 from 120 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19048.8695652
Subtracting 46 from 50 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 40 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 19048.86956521
Subtract 23 from 40 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 19048.86956521 with a balance of 1.7e-08.
