We're dividing 242804 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 242804 by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 79

Step 2:
If we divide 24 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 79

Step 3:
The number 79 fits into 242 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 237 from 242 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
58 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 58, we get 58.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 580 / 79

On to step 5:
79 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 307.0
If we subtract 553 from 580, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 274 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 274 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3073.0
If we take 237 away from 274, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 54.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3073.4
Deduct 316 from 370 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3073.46
Subtracting 474 from 540 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 660 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3073.468
If we subtract 632 from 660, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
280 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3073.4683
Subtracting 237 from 280 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
430 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3073.46835
Subtract 395 from 430 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
350 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3073.468354
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 316 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
79 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3073.4683544
Subtract 316 from 340 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3073.4683544 and a remainder of 2.4e-07.
