We're dividing 242882 by 39 
Our goal is to divide 242882 by 39.

Going ahead to step 1:
39 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 39

Step 2:
39 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 39

Step 3:
The number 39 fits into 242 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 234 from 242.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 39

On to step 4:
If we divide 88 by 39, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtracting 78 from 88 leaves us with 10.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 108 / 39

Step 5:
39 goes into 108 2 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 622.0
Subtracting 78 from 108 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 302 / 39

Step 6:
39 can be fit into 302 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6227.0
If we subtract 273 from 302, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
39 can be fit into 290 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6227.7
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 273 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 39 fits into 170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6227.74
Subtracting 156 from 170 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.

On to step 9:
The number 39 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6227.743
If we take 117 away from 140, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 10:
230 divided by 39 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6227.7435
Subtract 195 from 230 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
39 goes into 350 8 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6227.74358
If we subtract 312 from 350, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
380 divided by 39 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6227.743589
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 351 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 39 fits into 290 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6227.7435897
Subtract 273 from 290 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 14:
170 divided by 39 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6227.74358974
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 156 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 6227.74358974 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
