We're dividing 71988042 by 240 
Let's see how many times 240 fits into 71988042.

Step 1:
The number 240 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 240

Step 2:
240 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 71 and we're left with 71.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 719 / 240

Step 3:
240 goes into 719 2 times with a remainder of 239.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 480 from 719 leaves us with 239.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 239, then repeat: 2398 / 240

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2398 by 240, we get 9 with a remainder of 238.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 2160 from 2398 leaves us with 238.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 238 and continue with: 2388 / 240

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 2388 by 240, we get 9 with a remainder of 228.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we take 2160 away from 2388, we end up with 228.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 228, then carry on: 2280 / 240

On to step 6:
240 goes into 2280 9 times with a remainder of 120.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2999.0
Subtracting 2160 from 2280 leaves us with 120.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 120 and repeat the process: 1204 / 240

Let's proceed to step 7:
240 can be fit into 1204 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29995.0
Deduct 1200 from 1204 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 240

Let's proceed to step 8:
240 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 299950.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 240 fits into 420 1 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 299950.1
Deduct 240 from 420 and we're left with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 240 fits into 1800 7 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 299950.17
If we subtract 1680 from 1800, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
1200 divided by 240 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 299950.175
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 1200 from 1200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 0 by 240, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 299950.175
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
240 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 299950.175
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 299950.175 with a balance of 0.0.
