We divide 204996 by 24
Let's see how many times 24 fits into 204996.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 24

Let's proceed to step 2:
20 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 24

On to step 3:
If we divide 204 by 24, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 192 away from 204, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 24

Advancing to step 4:
24 can be fit into 129 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 120 from 129 to get 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
24 goes into 99 4 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 854.0
Deduct 96 from 99 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 24

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 36 by 24, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8541.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 24 from 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 24 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8541.5
If we subtract 120 from 120, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
0 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8541.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
0 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8541.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8541.5 with a remaining 0.0.
