242872 ÷ 80 
Let's see how many times 80 fits into 242872.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 80 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 80

Let's proceed to step 2:
80 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 80

Moving on to step 3:
80 goes into 242 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 240 from 242.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 80

Let's proceed to step 4:
80 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 80

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 287 by 80, we get 3 and a remainder of 47.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 303.0
Deduct 240 from 287 and we're left with 47.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 472 / 80

Step 6:
472 divided by 80 is 5 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3035.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 400 from 472.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
80 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3035.9
Subtract 720 from 720 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 80 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3035.9
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 80 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3035.9
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3035.9 with a balance of 0.0.
