We look at the division of 981859 by 24 
We're looking to find how many times 24 goes into 981859.

On to step 1:
24 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 24

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 24, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 96 from 98 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 24

On to step 3:
24 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 24

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 218 by 24, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 409.0
Subtracting 216 from 218 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 24

Moving on to step 5:
25 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4091.0
Subtracting 24 from 25 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 24

Advancing to step 6:
19 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40910.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 24 fits into 190 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 40910.7
Subtract 168 from 190 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 24, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40910.79
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up 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.

Step 9:
24 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40910.791
If we subtract 24 from 40, we 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 10:
When dividing 160 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40910.7916
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.

Advancing to step 11:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40910.79166
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 40910.79166 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
