Let's divide 494317 by 24
Our goal is to divide 494317 by 24.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
24 can be fit into 49 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 48 from 49 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 24

Let's proceed to step 3:
14 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 143 / 24

Moving on to step 4:
143 divided by 24 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 205.0
Subtracting 120 from 143 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 24

Going ahead to step 5:
24 can be fit into 231 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2059.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 216 from 231.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 24

Advancing to step 6:
The number 24 fits into 157 6 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20596.0
Deduct 144 from 157 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 24 fits into 130 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20596.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 120 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
100 divided by 24 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20596.54
Subtract 96 from 100 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 24, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20596.541
If we take 24 away from 40, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20596.5416
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20596.54166
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 20596.54166 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
