We divide 15454121 by 342
We're looking to find how many times 342 goes into 15454121.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 342 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 342

Advancing to step 2:
342 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 342

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 154 by 342, we get 0 with a remainder of 154.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 154, we end up with 154.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 154 and continue: 1545 / 342

Moving on to step 4:
1545 divided by 342 is 4 with a remainder of 177.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 177 after subtracting 1368 from 1545.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 177 and repeat the process: 1774 / 342

Going ahead to step 5:
342 can be fit into 1774 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 1710 from 1774 and we're left with 64.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 641 / 342

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 641 by 342, we get 1 with a remainder of 299.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 451.0
The remainder is 299 after subtracting 342 from 641.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 299 and continue with: 2992 / 342

Advancing to step 7:
The number 342 fits into 2992 8 times, leaving a remainder of 256.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4518.0
Deduct 2736 from 2992 and we're left with 256.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 256 and continue with: 2561 / 342

Going ahead to step 8:
342 can be fit into 2561 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 167.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45187.0
Deduct 2394 from 2561 and we're left with 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 342 fits into 1670 4 times, leaving a remainder of 302.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45187.4
If we subtract 1368 from 1670, we get 302.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
342 can be fit into 3020 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 284.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45187.48
Subtract 2736 from 3020 to get 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 2840 by 342, we get 8 with a remainder of 104.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45187.488
Subtracting 2736 from 2840 leaves us with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 45187.488 with a balance of 0.0104.
