Let's divide 24040538 by 645
We want to figure out the number of times 24040538 can be divided by 645.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 645 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 645

Step 2:
The number 645 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 645

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 240 by 645, we get 0 and a remainder of 240.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 240 after subtracting 0 from 240.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 240 and repeat the process: 2404 / 645

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2404 by 645, we get 3 with a remainder of 469.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 1935 away from 2404, we end up with 469.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 469, then repeat: 4690 / 645

Advancing to step 5:
The number 645 fits into 4690 7 times, leaving a remainder of 175.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 175 after subtracting 4515 from 4690.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 175 and repeat the process: 1755 / 645

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1755 by 645, we get 2 and a remainder of 465.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 372.0
If we take 1290 away from 1755, we end up with 465.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 465 and continue: 4653 / 645

On to step 7:
645 can be fit into 4653 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 138.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3727.0
Subtract 4515 from 4653 to get 138.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 138 and continue with: 1388 / 645

On to step 8:
1388 divided by 645 is 2 with a remainder of 98.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37272.0
Subtract 1290 from 1388 to get 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
645 goes into 980 1 times with a remainder of 335.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37272.1
If we take 645 away from 980, we end up with 335.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3350, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
645 can be fit into 3350 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 125.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37272.15
Subtracting 3225 from 3350 leaves us with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
645 goes into 1250 1 times with a remainder of 605.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 37272.151
If we take 645 away from 1250, we end up with 605.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6050, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
645 can be fit into 6050 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 245.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37272.1519
If we take 5805 away from 6050, we end up with 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
645 can be fit into 2450 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 515.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37272.15193
If we subtract 1935 from 2450, we get 515.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
645 can be fit into 5150 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 635.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37272.151937
The remainder is 635 after subtracting 4515 from 5150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6350, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
645 goes into 6350 9 times with a remainder of 545.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37272.1519379
If we subtract 5805 from 6350, we get 545.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 5450 by 645, we get 8 with a remainder of 290.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37272.15193798
If we take 5160 away from 5450, we end up with 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 37272.15193798 with a balance of 2.9e-07.
