We divide 554986 by 24
Let's see how many times 24 fits into 554986.

Step 1:
The number 24 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 24, we get 2 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 48 from 55 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 24

Let's proceed to step 3:
24 goes into 74 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 72 from 74 to get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 24

Step 4:
29 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 231.0
Deduct 24 from 29 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
The number 24 fits into 58 2 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2312.0
If we take 48 away from 58, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 106 / 24

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 106 by 24, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23124.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 96 from 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
24 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23124.4
If we subtract 96 from 100, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 24 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23124.41
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23124.416
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.

Step 10:
The number 24 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23124.4166
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 23124.4166 with a balance of 0.00016.
