We're dividing 240431 by 1 
We're looking to find how many times 1 goes into 240431.

On to step 1:
The number 1 fits into 2 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 1

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 4 by 1, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 1

Moving on to step 3:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
1 goes into 4 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2404.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 1

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 3 by 1, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 24043.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 3 from 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 1

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1 by 1, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 240431.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 1 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240431.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240431.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 240431.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
