Let's divide 2878424 by 242
Let's see how many times 242 fits into 2878424.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 242, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 242

On to step 2:
The number 242 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 242

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 287 by 242, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 242 away from 287, we end up with 45.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 458 / 242

Moving on to step 4:
242 can be fit into 458 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 242 from 458.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 216, then repeat: 2164 / 242

Let's proceed to step 5:
2164 divided by 242 is 8 with a remainder of 228.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we take 1936 away from 2164, we end up with 228.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 228 and continue: 2282 / 242

Step 6:
The number 242 fits into 2282 9 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1189.0
The remainder is 104 after subtracting 2178 from 2282.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 104, then repeat: 1044 / 242

Moving on to step 7:
242 goes into 1044 4 times with a remainder of 76.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11894.0
If we subtract 968 from 1044, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 760 by 242, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11894.3
Subtract 726 from 760 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
242 goes into 340 1 times with a remainder of 98.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11894.31
If we subtract 242 from 340, we get 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 980 by 242, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11894.314
Subtract 968 from 980 to 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 11:
242 can be fit into 120 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 120.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11894.314
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 1200 by 242, we get 4 with a remainder of 232.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11894.31404
Subtracting 968 from 1200 leaves us with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
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: 11894.314049
Subtract 2178 from 2320 to get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 1420 by 242, we get 5 and a remainder of 210.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11894.3140495
If we subtract 1210 from 1420, we 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.

Moving on to step 15:
2100 divided by 242 is 8 with a remainder of 164.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11894.31404958
The remainder is 164 after subtracting 1936 from 2100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11894.31404958, with a leftover of 1.64e-07.
