We're dividing 242180 by 97 
Let's see how many times 97 fits into 242180.

Going ahead to step 1:
97 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 97

Step 2:
24 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
97 goes into 242 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 194 from 242 and we're left with 48.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 481 / 97

On to step 4:
97 goes into 481 4 times with a remainder of 93.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 388 from 481 to get 93.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 93, then repeat: 938 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 938 9 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 249.0
Deduct 873 from 938 and we're left with 65.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 650 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
The number 97 fits into 650 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2496.0
Subtracting 582 from 650 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 680 by 97, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2496.7
Subtract 679 from 680 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
97 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2496.7
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 97, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2496.701
If we take 97 away from 100, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 97 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2496.701
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
97 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2496.70103
If we subtract 291 from 300, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
90 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 90.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2496.70103
If we take 0 away from 90, we end up with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
900 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2496.7010309
Subtracting 873 from 900 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
97 can be fit into 270 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2496.70103092
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 194 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2496.70103092 with a balance of 7.6e-08.
