404042 divided by 23 
Our goal is to divide 404042 by 23.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
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: 1.0
Subtracting 23 from 40 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 174 / 23

Step 3:
When dividing 174 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 161 from 174 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 130 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 can be fit into 130 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 175.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 115 from 130.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 154 / 23

Step 5:
23 goes into 154 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1756.0
Deduct 138 from 154 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 162 / 23

On to step 6:
If we divide 162 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17567.0
Deduct 161 from 162 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17567.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
23 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17567.04
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17567.043
If we take 69 away from 80, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17567.0434
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17567.04347
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 161 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 17567.043478
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17567.0434782
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17567.04347826
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17567.04347826 with a balance of 2e-09.
