We're dividing 257697 by 24 
We want to figure out the number of times 257697 can be divided by 24.

Advancing to step 1:
24 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 24

On to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 24, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 24 away from 25, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 24

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 17 by 24, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 176 / 24

On to step 4:
24 goes into 176 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 107.0
Subtracting 168 from 176 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 24

Moving on to step 5:
24 goes into 89 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1073.0
Deduct 72 from 89 and we're left with 17.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 177 / 24

Step 6:
If we divide 177 by 24, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10737.0
If we take 168 away from 177, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 24 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10737.3
Deduct 72 from 90 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
180 divided by 24 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10737.37
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 24, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10737.375
Subtract 120 from 120 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
0 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10737.375
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
0 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10737.375
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10737.375, with a leftover of 0.0.
