We divide 42238899 by 242
Let's see how many times 242 fits into 42238899.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 242, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 242

Let's proceed to step 2:
242 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 422 / 242

Advancing to step 3:
242 can be fit into 422 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 242 from 422 leaves us with 180.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 180, then carry on: 1803 / 242

Moving on to step 4:
The number 242 fits into 1803 7 times, leaving a remainder of 109.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 109 after subtracting 1694 from 1803.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 109, then repeat: 1098 / 242

Step 5:
1098 divided by 242 is 4 with a remainder of 130.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
The remainder is 130 after subtracting 968 from 1098.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 130, then repeat: 1308 / 242

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 1308 by 242, we get 5 with a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1745.0
If we subtract 1210 from 1308, we get 98.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 98 and repeat the process: 989 / 242

Step 7:
The number 242 fits into 989 4 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17454.0
If we take 968 away from 989, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 219 / 242

On to step 8:
If we divide 219 by 242, we get 0 and a remainder of 219.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174540.0
If we subtract 0 from 219, we get 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
242 can be fit into 2190 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174540.9
Deduct 2178 from 2190 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 242, we get 0 with a remainder of 120.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174540.9
If we subtract 0 from 120, we get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
242 goes into 1200 4 times with a remainder of 232.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174540.904
If we subtract 968 from 1200, we get 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 2320 by 242, we get 9 and a remainder of 142.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174540.9049
If we subtract 2178 from 2320, we get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 242 fits into 1420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 210.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174540.90495
Deduct 1210 from 1420 and we're left with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
2100 divided by 242 is 8 with a remainder of 164.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174540.904958
If we subtract 1936 from 2100, we get 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
1640 divided by 242 is 6 with a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 174540.9049586
Subtracting 1452 from 1640 leaves us with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 1880 by 242, we get 7 with a remainder of 186.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 174540.90495867
If we take 1694 away from 1880, we end up with 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 174540.90495867 with a balance of 1.86e-07.
