We divide 542815 by 24
Let's see how many times 24 fits into 542815.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 24 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
54 divided by 24 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 48 from 54 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 24

Let's proceed to step 3:
62 divided by 24 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 48 from 62.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 24

On to step 4:
The number 24 fits into 148 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 226.0
Deduct 144 from 148 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 24

Going ahead to step 5:
41 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2261.0
Subtract 24 from 41 to get 17.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 175 / 24

Advancing to step 6:
24 goes into 175 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22617.0
Subtract 168 from 175 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 24, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22617.2
Deduct 48 from 70 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
24 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22617.29
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 24 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22617.291
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.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 24 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 22617.2916
Subtract 144 from 160 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 11:
When dividing 160 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22617.29166
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 22617.29166 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
