Let's divide 142665 by 23
We want to divide 142665 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
23 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 142 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 138 away from 142, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
46 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 46 from 46 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 6 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
6 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 620.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 65 2 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6202.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 46 from 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 23 fits into 190 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6202.8
Deduct 184 from 190 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6202.82
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6202.826
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6202.826
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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 11:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6202.82608
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
23 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6202.826086
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
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: 6202.8260869
Subtract 207 from 220 to 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 14:
23 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6202.82608695
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6202.82608695 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
