We're dividing 277960 by 24 
Our goal is to divide 277960 by 24.

On to step 1:
The number 24 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 24

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 24, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 24 away from 27, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
24 goes into 37 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 24 away from 37, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 24

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 139 by 24, we get 5 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtracting 120 from 139 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 24

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 196 by 24, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1158.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 192 from 196.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 24

On to step 6:
The number 24 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11581.0
Subtract 24 from 40 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 160 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11581.6
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11581.66
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11581.66 and a remainder of 0.016.
