We're dividing 242349 by 87 
Our goal is to divide 242349 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 goes into 242 2 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 174 from 242, we get 68.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 683 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 683 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 609 from 683.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 744 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
744 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 278.0
Subtract 696 from 744 to get 48.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 489 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
489 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 54.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2785.0
If we take 435 away from 489, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 540 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2785.6
If we subtract 522 from 540, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
87 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2785.62
Subtract 174 from 180 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
60 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2785.62
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 600 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2785.6206
Subtract 522 from 600 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 780 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 84.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2785.62068
If we subtract 696 from 780, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
87 can be fit into 840 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2785.620689
If we take 783 away from 840, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 570 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2785.6206896
Subtract 522 from 570 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 480 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2785.62068965
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 435 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2785.62068965, with a leftover of 4.5e-08.
