We look at the division of 242551 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 242551 by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
79 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 79

Step 3:
79 can be fit into 242 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 237 from 242 to get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 79

On to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 555 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
79 goes into 555 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 307.0
If we take 553 away from 555, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
21 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3070.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 79 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3070.2
Subtract 158 from 210 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 520 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3070.26
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 474 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3070.265
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 395 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
650 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3070.2658
Subtract 632 from 650 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 180 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3070.26582
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 158 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3070.265822
Subtract 158 from 220 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3070.265822 with a balance of 6.2e-06.
