242278 divided by 34 
Our goal is to divide 242278 by 34.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 34, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 34

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 34

On to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 34, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 238 from 242, we get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 34

Step 4:
The number 34 fits into 42 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Deduct 34 from 42 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 34

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 34 fits into 87 2 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 712.0
Subtracting 68 from 87 leaves us with 19.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 198 / 34

Moving on to step 6:
34 can be fit into 198 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7125.0
Subtracting 170 from 198 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 34, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7125.8
If we take 272 away from 280, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
34 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7125.82
Subtract 68 from 80 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 34, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7125.823
Deduct 102 from 120 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 34 fits into 180 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7125.8235
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 170 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
34 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7125.82352
If we take 68 away from 100, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 34 fits into 320 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7125.823529
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 306 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 34, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7125.8235294
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
34 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7125.82352941
Deduct 34 from 40 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7125.82352941, with a leftover of 6e-09.
