We look at the division of 23856542 by 284 
Our goal is to divide 23856542 by 284.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 284, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 284

Step 2:
284 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
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 238 / 284

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 238 by 284, we get 0 with a remainder of 238.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 238, we get 238.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 238 and continue with: 2385 / 284

Advancing to step 4:
The number 284 fits into 2385 8 times, leaving a remainder of 113.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 2272 from 2385 leaves us with 113.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 113, then carry on: 1136 / 284

Going ahead to step 5:
284 can be fit into 1136 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we subtract 1136 from 1136, we get 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 284

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 284 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 840.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 284

Step 7:
When dividing 54 by 284, we get 0 with a remainder of 54.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8400.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 542 / 284

Moving on to step 8:
542 divided by 284 is 1 with a remainder of 258.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 84001.0
Subtract 284 from 542 to get 258.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 2580 by 284, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 84001.9
Subtracting 2556 from 2580 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 284, we get 0 and a remainder of 240.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 84001.9
Subtract 0 from 240 to get 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
2400 divided by 284 is 8 with a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84001.908
Deduct 2272 from 2400 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
284 can be fit into 1280 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 84001.9084
If we take 1136 away from 1280, we end up with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
284 goes into 1440 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 84001.90845
If we take 1420 away from 1440, 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 284 fits into 200 0 times, leaving a remainder of 200.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 84001.90845
Subtracting 0 from 200 leaves us with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 2000 by 284, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84001.9084507
If we subtract 1988 from 2000, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 120 by 284, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84001.9084507
The remainder is 120 after subtracting 0 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 84001.9084507, with a leftover of 1.2e-07.
