We're dividing 539971 by 24 
Let's see how many times 24 fits into 539971.

On to step 1:
24 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
The number 24 fits into 53 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 48 from 53 to get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 24

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 59 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 48 away from 59, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 24

Let's proceed to step 4:
119 divided by 24 is 4 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 224.0
Subtract 96 from 119 to get 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 237 by 24, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2249.0
If we subtract 216 from 237, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 211 / 24

Moving on to step 6:
The number 24 fits into 211 8 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22498.0
Deduct 192 from 211 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
24 can be fit into 190 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22498.7
Subtracting 168 from 190 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
220 divided by 24 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22498.79
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us with 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.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22498.791
Subtracting 24 from 40 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.

Step 10:
24 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22498.7916
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
160 divided by 24 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22498.79166
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.

Our division results in 22498.79166 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
