We're dividing 23842 by 44 
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 23842.

Moving on to step 1:
44 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 44

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 44

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 238 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 18.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 220 away from 238, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 44

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 184 by 44, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 176 away from 184, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
82 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 541.0
If we take 44 away from 82, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
44 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 541.8
Deduct 352 from 380 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
280 divided by 44 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 541.86
If we take 264 away from 280, 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.

Step 8:
44 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 541.863
Subtracting 132 from 160 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
44 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 541.8636
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 264 from 280.
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 10:
44 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 541.86363
If we subtract 132 from 160, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
44 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 541.863636
Subtract 264 from 280 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 44, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 541.8636363
If we take 132 away from 160, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
44 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 541.86363636
Subtract 264 from 280 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 541.86363636 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
