Let's divide 242601 by 57
Our goal is to divide 242601 by 57.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 57 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 57

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 57, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 57

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 57, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 228 from 242 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 146 / 57

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 57 fits into 146 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 114 from 146 leaves us with 32.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 320 / 57

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 57 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 425.0
If we take 285 away from 320, we end up with 35.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 351 / 57

On to step 6:
When dividing 351 by 57, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4256.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 342 from 351.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 57, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4256.1
Subtracting 57 from 90 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 57 fits into 330 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4256.15
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 285 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 450 by 57, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4256.157
If we take 399 away from 450, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
57 can be fit into 510 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4256.1578
If we take 456 away from 510, we end up 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.

Step 11:
57 goes into 540 9 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4256.15789
Subtracting 513 from 540 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
57 goes into 270 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4256.157894
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 228 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
420 divided by 57 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4256.1578947
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 399 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 210 by 57, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4256.15789473
Deduct 171 from 210 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4256.15789473 with a remaining 3.9e-08.
