Let's divide 161246 by 24
Let's see how many times 24 fits into 161246.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 24, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 24

On to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 161 6 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 144 from 161.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 24

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 172 by 24, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we take 168 away from 172, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 44 by 24, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 671.0
Subtract 24 from 44 to get 20.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 206 / 24

Going ahead to step 6:
24 goes into 206 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6718.0
Subtract 192 from 206 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
24 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6718.5
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 120 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 200 by 24, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6718.58
Deduct 192 from 200 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
80 divided by 24 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6718.583
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 10:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6718.5833
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up 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 6718.5833 with a remaining 8e-05.
