We divide 242456 by 57
Our goal is to divide 242456 by 57.

Let's proceed to step 1:
57 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 57

Step 2:
57 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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 / 57

Let's proceed to step 3:
57 goes into 242 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 228 from 242 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 57

Moving on to step 4:
The number 57 fits into 144 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 114 from 144 and we're left with 30.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 305 / 57

Going ahead to step 5:
305 divided by 57 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 425.0
Subtracting 285 from 305 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 206 / 57

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 206 by 57, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4253.0
Deduct 171 from 206 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
57 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4253.6
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 342 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
57 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4253.61
Subtract 57 from 80 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 9:
230 divided by 57 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4253.614
If we subtract 228 from 230, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
20 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4253.614
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 57, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4253.61403
If we take 171 away from 200, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 12:
57 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4253.614035
If we take 285 away from 290, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 57, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4253.614035
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 500 by 57, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4253.61403508
Deduct 456 from 500 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4253.61403508 with a balance of 4.4e-08.
