We divide 15242 by 9
Let's see how many times 9 fits into 15242.

Moving on to step 1:
9 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in 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.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 9

Step 2:
The number 9 fits into 15 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 9 from 15 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
9 can be fit into 62 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 54 from 62 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 9

On to step 4:
The number 9 fits into 84 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we subtract 81 from 84, we get 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 9

On to step 5:
9 can be fit into 32 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1693.0
If we subtract 27 from 32, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 50 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1693.5
Deduct 45 from 50 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 50 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1693.55
If we subtract 45 from 50, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1693.55 with a balance of 0.005.
