We divide 264988 by 24
We're looking to find how many times 24 goes into 264988.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 24

Advancing to step 2:
24 can be fit into 26 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 24 from 26, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 24

Going ahead to step 3:
24 can be fit into 24 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 24

Advancing to step 4:
9 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 110.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 24

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 24 fits into 98 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1104.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 96 from 98.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 24

Moving on to step 6:
28 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11041.0
If we subtract 24 from 28, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
40 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11041.1
Subtract 24 from 40 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11041.16
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11041.166
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.

The final result is 11041.166 with a remainder of 0.0016.
