We're dividing 72307880 by 242 
Our goal is to divide 72307880 by 242.

On to step 1:
The number 242 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 242

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 242 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 723 / 242

Step 3:
242 can be fit into 723 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 239.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 484 away from 723, we end up with 239.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 239 and continue with: 2390 / 242

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 242 fits into 2390 9 times, leaving a remainder of 212.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 2178 from 2390, we get 212.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 212 and continue: 2127 / 242

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 242 fits into 2127 8 times, leaving a remainder of 191.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 298.0
Subtract 1936 from 2127 to get 191.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 191 and continue with: 1918 / 242

Moving on to step 6:
242 can be fit into 1918 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 224.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2987.0
Deduct 1694 from 1918 and we're left with 224.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 224 and continue with: 2248 / 242

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 2248 by 242, we get 9 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29879.0
If we subtract 2178 from 2248, we get 70.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 700 / 242

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 700 by 242, we get 2 and a remainder of 216.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 298792.0
If we take 484 away from 700, we end up with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 2160 by 242, we get 8 with a remainder of 224.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 298792.8
Deduct 1936 from 2160 and we're left with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
2240 divided by 242 is 9 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 298792.89
Subtract 2178 from 2240 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.

Advancing to step 11:
620 divided by 242 is 2 with a remainder of 136.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 298792.892
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 484 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
242 goes into 1360 5 times with a remainder of 150.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 298792.8925
If we take 1210 away from 1360, we end up with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
1500 divided by 242 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 298792.89256
Subtracting 1452 from 1500 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 480 by 242, we get 1 with a remainder of 238.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 298792.892561
Subtracting 242 from 480 leaves us with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 2380 by 242, we get 9 and a remainder of 202.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 298792.8925619
The remainder is 202 after subtracting 2178 from 2380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
2020 divided by 242 is 8 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 298792.89256198
If we take 1936 away from 2020, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 298792.89256198, with a leftover of 8.4e-08.
