746981 ÷ 24 
We want to figure out the number of times 746981 can be divided by 24.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 24 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 24

Going ahead to step 2:
24 can be fit into 74 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 72 from 74.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 24

Step 3:
24 can be fit into 26 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 24 from 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 24

Let's proceed to step 4:
24 can be fit into 29 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 311.0
Subtract 24 from 29 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 58 by 24, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3112.0
Subtracting 48 from 58 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 101 / 24

Advancing to step 6:
24 goes into 101 4 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31124.0
If we take 96 away from 101, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 24, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31124.2
If we take 48 away from 50, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31124.2
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 24, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31124.208
Subtracting 192 from 200 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
80 divided by 24 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31124.2083
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31124.20833
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 31124.20833 with a remaining 8e-06.
