We divide 87233959 by 242
We're looking to find how many times 242 goes into 87233959.

Going ahead to step 1:
242 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 242

On to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 242, we get 0 with a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 87 and we're left with 87.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 872 / 242

On to step 3:
When dividing 872 by 242, we get 3 with a remainder of 146.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 146 after subtracting 726 from 872.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 146, then repeat: 1463 / 242

On to step 4:
242 can be fit into 1463 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
Deduct 1452 from 1463 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 113 / 242

On to step 5:
If we divide 113 by 242, we get 0 and a remainder of 113.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 360.0
If we take 0 away from 113, we end up with 113.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 113, then repeat: 1139 / 242

Let's proceed to step 6:
242 can be fit into 1139 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 171.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3604.0
The remainder is 171 after subtracting 968 from 1139.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 171 and continue: 1715 / 242

Step 7:
242 goes into 1715 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36047.0
Subtracting 1694 from 1715 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 242

On to step 8:
242 can be fit into 219 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 219.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 360470.0
Subtracting 0 from 219 leaves us with 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
2190 divided by 242 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 360470.9
If we subtract 2178 from 2190, we get 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:
If we divide 120 by 242, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 360470.9
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.

Moving on to step 11:
242 can be fit into 1200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 232.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 360470.904
The remainder is 232 after subtracting 968 from 1200.
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:
242 can be fit into 2320 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 142.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 360470.9049
If we take 2178 away from 2320, we end up with 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 242 fits into 1420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 210.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 360470.90495
Subtract 1210 from 1420 to get 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 2100 by 242, we get 8 and a remainder of 164.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 360470.904958
Subtract 1936 from 2100 to 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.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 1640 by 242, we get 6 with a remainder of 188.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 360470.9049586
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.

Going ahead 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: 360470.90495867
Subtract 1694 from 1880 to get 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 360470.90495867 and a remainder of 1.86e-07.
