242470 divided by 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 242470 can be divided by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
38 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 242 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 228 from 242 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 144 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
144 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 114 away from 144, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 307 / 38

Step 5:
The number 38 fits into 307 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 638.0
If we subtract 304 from 307, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 38

Step 6:
The number 38 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6380.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6380.7
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 266 from 300.
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 8:
The number 38 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6380.78
If we subtract 304 from 340, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6380.789
Subtracting 342 from 360 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6380.7894
Subtracting 152 from 180 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6380.78947
Deduct 266 from 280 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
140 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6380.789473
Subtract 114 from 140 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 13:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6380.7894736
If we take 228 away from 260, 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.

Advancing to step 14:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6380.78947368
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6380.78947368 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
