Let's divide 242862 by 29
Let's see how many times 29 fits into 242862.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 29 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 29

Going ahead to step 2:
29 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 29

On to step 3:
The number 29 fits into 242 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 232 from 242 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 108 / 29

Step 4:
29 can be fit into 108 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtract 87 from 108 to get 21.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 216 / 29

Step 5:
216 divided by 29 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 837.0
Subtract 203 from 216 to get 13.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 132 / 29

Step 6:
29 can be fit into 132 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8374.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 116 from 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 29, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8374.5
Deduct 145 from 160 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
29 can be fit into 150 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8374.55
If we take 145 away from 150, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 8374.55, and the remainder is 0.005.
