Let's divide 686986 by 24
We want to figure out the number of times 686986 can be divided by 24.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 24

On to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 24, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 48 from 68.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 206 / 24

Step 3:
24 can be fit into 206 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 192 away from 206, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 24

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 149 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 286.0
Deduct 144 from 149 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
24 goes into 58 2 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2862.0
Subtracting 48 from 58 leaves us with 10.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 106 / 24

Going ahead to step 6:
24 can be fit into 106 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28624.0
If we subtract 96 from 106, we 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.

Step 7:
100 divided by 24 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 28624.4
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
40 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28624.41
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28624.416
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 28624.4166
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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 28624.4166 and a remainder of 0.00016.
