We look at the division of 617240 by 24 
We want to divide 617240 by 24.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 61 by 24, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 48 from 61 leaves us with 13.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 24

Step 3:
24 can be fit into 137 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 120 from 137 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 24

Step 4:
172 divided by 24 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 257.0
If we subtract 168 from 172, we get 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 24

On to step 5:
24 goes into 44 1 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2571.0
Subtracting 24 from 44 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 200 / 24

Step 6:
If we divide 200 by 24, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25718.0
Subtract 192 from 200 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
80 divided by 24 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25718.3
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 24 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25718.33
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 25718.33 with a balance of 0.008.
