We look at the division of 20423881 by 142 
We want to divide 20423881 by 142.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 142, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 142

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 142, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 142

Step 3:
If we divide 204 by 142, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 142 from 204, we get 62.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 622 / 142

Step 4:
622 divided by 142 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 568 from 622 leaves us with 54.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 543 / 142

Going ahead to step 5:
142 goes into 543 3 times with a remainder of 117.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 143.0
Deduct 426 from 543 and we're left with 117.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 117 and continue with: 1178 / 142

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 1178 by 142, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1438.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 1136 from 1178.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 428 / 142

Step 7:
When dividing 428 by 142, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14383.0
Subtract 426 from 428 to get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 142

On to step 8:
142 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 143830.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 142 fits into 210 1 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 143830.1
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 142 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
142 goes into 680 4 times with a remainder of 112.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 143830.14
Subtract 568 from 680 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 1120 by 142, we get 7 with a remainder of 126.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 143830.147
If we subtract 994 from 1120, we get 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
1260 divided by 142 is 8 with a remainder of 124.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 143830.1478
The remainder is 124 after subtracting 1136 from 1260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
1240 divided by 142 is 8 with a remainder of 104.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 143830.14788
Subtracting 1136 from 1240 leaves us with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 143830.14788 with a balance of 0.000104.
