We divide 242394 by 72
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 242394.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 72, 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
242 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 216 from 242 to get 26.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 263 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 263 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtract 216 from 263 to get 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 479 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 47.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 336.0
Subtract 432 from 479 to get 47.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 474 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
474 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3366.0
Deduct 432 from 474 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
420 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3366.5
Subtract 360 from 420 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3366.58
Subtracting 576 from 600 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3366.583
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3366.5833
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3366.5833 and a remainder of 0.00024.
