We're dividing 196984 by 24 
We want to figure out the number of times 196984 can be divided by 24.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 24

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 19 by 24, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 24

On to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 196 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 192 from 196 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 24

Step 4:
If we divide 49 by 24, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Deduct 48 from 49 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 24

On to step 5:
If we divide 18 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 820.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 184 / 24

Advancing to step 6:
24 goes into 184 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8207.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 168 from 184.
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 7:
24 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8207.6
Subtract 144 from 160 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.

Step 8:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8207.66
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.

The final outcome is 8207.66, with a leftover of 0.016.
