We look at the division of 242272 by 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 242272.

Advancing to step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
24 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 79

On to step 3:
79 can be fit into 242 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 237 from 242 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
79 goes into 52 0 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 52 leaves us with 52.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 527 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 527 6 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 306.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 474 from 527.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 532 / 79

Step 6:
If we divide 532 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 58.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3066.0
Subtracting 474 from 532 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 580 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3066.7
Deduct 553 from 580 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 270 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3066.73
If we subtract 237 from 270, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3066.734
If we take 316 away from 330, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
140 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3066.7341
Subtract 79 from 140 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3066.73417
Deduct 553 from 610 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
79 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3066.734177
Subtract 553 from 570 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3066.734177 and a remainder of 1.7e-06.
