We look at the division of 23001431 by 678 
We want to divide 23001431 by 678.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 678, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 678

Advancing to step 2:
678 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 230 / 678

On to step 3:
When dividing 230 by 678, we get 0 with a remainder of 230.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 230, we end up with 230.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 230, then carry on: 2300 / 678

Advancing to step 4:
678 goes into 2300 3 times with a remainder of 266.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 2034 from 2300 leaves us with 266.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 266 and continue with: 2661 / 678

On to step 5:
If we divide 2661 by 678, we get 3 and a remainder of 627.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtract 2034 from 2661 to get 627.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 627 and continue with: 6274 / 678

Going ahead to step 6:
678 can be fit into 6274 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 172.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 339.0
Subtracting 6102 from 6274 leaves us with 172.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 172, then carry on: 1723 / 678

Step 7:
The number 678 fits into 1723 2 times, leaving a remainder of 367.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3392.0
Subtracting 1356 from 1723 leaves us with 367.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 367, then repeat: 3671 / 678

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 3671 by 678, we get 5 with a remainder of 281.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33925.0
If we subtract 3390 from 3671, we get 281.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2810, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
2810 divided by 678 is 4 with a remainder of 98.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33925.4
If we subtract 2712 from 2810, we get 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 980 by 678, we get 1 and a remainder of 302.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33925.41
The remainder is 302 after subtracting 678 from 980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 3020 by 678, we get 4 and a remainder of 308.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33925.414
Subtracting 2712 from 3020 leaves us with 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 3080 by 678, we get 4 and a remainder of 368.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33925.4144
Subtract 2712 from 3080 to get 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 33925.4144 with a balance of 0.00368.
