We're dividing 502723 by 24 
Our goal is to divide 502723 by 24.

On to step 1:
24 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 24

Step 2:
The number 24 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 48 from 50 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 24

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 22 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 227 / 24

On to step 4:
The number 24 fits into 227 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 209.0
Deduct 216 from 227 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 112 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
24 can be fit into 112 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2094.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 96 from 112.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 163 / 24

Step 6:
24 goes into 163 6 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20946.0
If we subtract 144 from 163, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
24 can be fit into 190 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20946.7
If we subtract 168 from 190, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
220 divided by 24 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20946.79
Subtract 216 from 220 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 24, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20946.791
Subtract 24 from 40 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.

Advancing to step 10:
160 divided by 24 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20946.7916
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20946.79166
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 result is 20946.79166 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
