Let's divide 78887969 by 242
Let's see how many times 242 fits into 78887969.

On to step 1:
242 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 242

On to step 2:
242 can be fit into 78 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 78 and we're left with 78.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 788 / 242

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 788 by 242, we get 3 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 726 away from 788, we end up with 62.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 628 / 242

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 628 by 242, we get 2 and a remainder of 144.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 484 from 628.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 144, then carry on: 1447 / 242

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1447 by 242, we get 5 with a remainder of 237.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 325.0
Deduct 1210 from 1447 and we're left with 237.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 237, then carry on: 2379 / 242

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 2379 by 242, we get 9 and a remainder of 201.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3259.0
Subtract 2178 from 2379 to get 201.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 201 and continue with: 2016 / 242

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 2016 by 242, we get 8 with a remainder of 80.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32598.0
Subtracting 1936 from 2016 leaves us with 80.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 809 / 242

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 809 by 242, we get 3 with a remainder of 83.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 325983.0
Subtract 726 from 809 to get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
830 divided by 242 is 3 with a remainder of 104.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 325983.3
Subtract 726 from 830 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
242 can be fit into 1040 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 325983.34
Deduct 968 from 1040 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 11:
720 divided by 242 is 2 with a remainder of 236.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 325983.342
Subtracting 484 from 720 leaves us with 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 242 fits into 2360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 182.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 325983.3429
The remainder is 182 after subtracting 2178 from 2360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 242 fits into 1820 7 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 325983.34297
Subtracting 1694 from 1820 leaves us with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
242 can be fit into 1260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 325983.342975
If we take 1210 away from 1260, we end up 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.

Step 15:
242 goes into 500 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 325983.3429752
Deduct 484 from 500 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 16:
242 can be fit into 160 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 160.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 325983.3429752
Subtract 0 from 160 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 325983.3429752 with a balance of 1.6e-07.
