We look at the division of 23854 by 72 
We want to divide 23854 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
23 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 238 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 238 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 238 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 225 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 225 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 216 away from 225, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 94 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 331.0
Deduct 72 from 94 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 220 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 331.3
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 331.3
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 331.305
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 331.3055
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 331.3055 with a balance of 0.0004.
