We divide 20424587 by 124
We want to divide 20424587 by 124.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 124 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 124

On to step 2:
124 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 124

Advancing to step 3:
The number 124 fits into 204 1 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 124 from 204 leaves us with 80.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 80, then repeat: 802 / 124

Moving on to step 4:
124 goes into 802 6 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 744 from 802, we get 58.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 584 / 124

Moving on to step 5:
The number 124 fits into 584 4 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164.0
Subtracting 496 from 584 leaves us with 88.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 88, then repeat: 885 / 124

On to step 6:
The number 124 fits into 885 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1647.0
Deduct 868 from 885 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 124

Advancing to step 7:
124 can be fit into 178 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16471.0
If we subtract 124 from 178, we get 54.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 547 / 124

On to step 8:
547 divided by 124 is 4 with a remainder of 51.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164714.0
If we subtract 496 from 547, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 510 by 124, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164714.4
Subtracting 496 from 510 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
124 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164714.41
Subtracting 124 from 140 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.

On to step 11:
160 divided by 124 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164714.411
Deduct 124 from 160 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 164714.411 with a remaining 0.0036.
