242866 divided by 80 
Our goal is to divide 242866 by 80.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 80, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 80

Let's proceed to step 2:
24 divided by 80 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 80

Moving on to step 3:
The number 80 fits into 242 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 240 from 242, we get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 80

Advancing to step 4:
The number 80 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 286 / 80

Let's proceed to step 5:
286 divided by 80 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 303.0
If we subtract 240 from 286, we get 46.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 466 / 80

Going ahead to step 6:
80 can be fit into 466 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3035.0
If we take 400 away from 466, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 660 by 80, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3035.8
Subtract 640 from 660 to 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.

Step 8:
200 divided by 80 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3035.82
If we take 160 away from 200, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 80, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3035.825
If we take 400 away from 400, we end up 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 0 by 80, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3035.825
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 80, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3035.825
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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 3035.825 with a balance of 0.0.
