131542 ÷ 24 
We want to divide 131542 by 24.

Step 1:
The number 24 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
24 goes into 13 0 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 131 / 24

Step 3:
If we divide 131 by 24, we get 5 and a remainder of 11.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 120 from 131 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 115 / 24

Let's proceed to step 4:
24 goes into 115 4 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 96 from 115 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 194 / 24

On to step 5:
194 divided by 24 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 548.0
Subtracting 192 from 194 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 24

Advancing to step 6:
22 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5480.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
220 divided by 24 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5480.9
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
24 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5480.91
Subtracting 24 from 40 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5480.916
If we subtract 144 from 160, we 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 10:
When dividing 160 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5480.9166
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.

The final outcome is 5480.9166, with a leftover of 0.00016.
