We're dividing 242509 by 65 
We want to divide 242509 by 65.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 65, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 65

On to step 2:
24 divided by 65 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 65

Step 3:
The number 65 fits into 242 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 195 from 242 leaves us with 47.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 475 / 65

Moving on to step 4:
65 can be fit into 475 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 455 from 475.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 200 / 65

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 200 by 65, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 373.0
If we subtract 195 from 200, we get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 65

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 59 by 65, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3730.0
Subtract 0 from 59 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
65 can be fit into 590 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3730.9
Deduct 585 from 590 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 65, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3730.9
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
500 divided by 65 is 7 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3730.907
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 455 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
65 goes into 450 6 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3730.9076
Subtracting 390 from 450 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
600 divided by 65 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3730.90769
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 585 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 65, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3730.907692
If we subtract 130 from 150, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
200 divided by 65 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3730.9076923
Deduct 195 from 200 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
65 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3730.9076923
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3730.9076923 with a remaining 5e-08.
