We divide 242516 by 79
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 242516.

On to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 79

On to step 3:
79 goes into 242 3 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 237 from 242.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
79 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 551 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 551 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 77.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 306.0
Subtracting 474 from 551 leaves us with 77.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 77 and continue with: 776 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
79 can be fit into 776 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3069.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 711 from 776.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
650 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3069.8
If we subtract 632 from 650, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3069.82
If we subtract 158 from 180, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 220 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3069.822
Subtracting 158 from 220 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3069.822 with a remaining 0.0062.
