24982 divided by 3 
Our goal is to divide 24982 by 3.

Step 1:
3 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 3, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 3

Step 3:
3 goes into 9 3 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 832.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 22 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8327.0
If we subtract 21 from 22, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8327.3
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8327.33
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8327.33 with a balance of 0.001.
