We look at the division of 242143 by 34 
We're looking to find how many times 34 goes into 242143.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 34 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 34

Step 2:
24 divided by 34 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 34

Let's proceed to step 3:
34 can be fit into 242 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 238 from 242 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 34

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 41 by 34, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 34 from 41, we get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 34

Going ahead to step 5:
74 divided by 34 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 712.0
Subtracting 68 from 74 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 63 / 34

Let's proceed to step 6:
63 divided by 34 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7121.0
Subtract 34 from 63 to 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.

Step 7:
34 goes into 290 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7121.8
Subtract 272 from 290 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 34, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7121.85
If we subtract 170 from 180, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
100 divided by 34 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7121.852
Deduct 68 from 100 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
320 divided by 34 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7121.8529
Subtract 306 from 320 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
34 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7121.85294
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
40 divided by 34 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7121.852941
Subtract 34 from 40 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 34 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7121.8529411
Deduct 34 from 60 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7121.8529411 with a balance of 2.6e-07.
