We're dividing 23642 by 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 23642.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 17, we get 0 with 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.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 17

Step 2:
If we divide 23 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 17 from 23, we get 6.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 66 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 66 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 51 from 66 to get 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
154 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
Deduct 153 from 154 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
12 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1390.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1390.7
Subtracting 119 from 120 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1390.7
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1390.705
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1390.7058
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us with 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 10:
When dividing 140 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1390.70588
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1390.70588 with a balance of 4e-06.
