We divide 242729 by 7
We want to divide 242729 by 7.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 7, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 7

Advancing to step 2:
7 goes into 24 3 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 21 from 24 to get 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 7

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 32 by 7, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 28 away from 32, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 7

Step 4:
7 goes into 47 6 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 346.0
If we take 42 away from 47, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 7

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 7 fits into 52 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3467.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 49 from 52.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 7

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 7 fits into 39 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34675.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 35 from 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
7 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 34675.5
Deduct 35 from 40 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
7 can be fit into 50 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34675.57
Subtract 49 from 50 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 10 by 7, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 34675.571
If we subtract 7 from 10, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 7 fits into 30 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34675.5714
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 28 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
7 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34675.57142
Subtracting 14 from 20 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
7 can be fit into 60 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34675.571428
If we take 56 away from 60, 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.

Moving on to step 13:
7 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34675.5714285
Subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 7, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 34675.57142857
Subtract 49 from 50 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 34675.57142857 with a remainder of 1e-09.
