We divide 279908 by 24
Let's see how many times 24 fits into 279908.

Let's proceed to step 1:
24 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 24

Step 2:
The number 24 fits into 27 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 24 from 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
24 goes into 39 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 24 from 39 to get 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 24

Moving on to step 4:
159 divided by 24 is 6 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 116.0
Subtracting 144 from 159 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 150 / 24

Moving on to step 5:
24 goes into 150 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1166.0
If we take 144 away from 150, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 24

On to step 6:
When dividing 68 by 24, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11662.0
Subtract 48 from 68 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
200 divided by 24 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11662.8
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 192 from 200.
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:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11662.83
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.

On to step 9:
The number 24 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11662.833
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11662.833 with a remaining 0.0008.
