We're dividing 24278 by 18 
We're looking to find how many times 18 goes into 24278.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 18 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 18

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 18, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 18 from 24, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 18

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 62 by 18, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 54 from 62 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 18

Step 4:
If we divide 87 by 18, we get 4 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 134.0
If we take 72 away from 87, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 18

Let's proceed to step 5:
18 goes into 158 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1348.0
If we take 144 away from 158, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 140 by 18, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1348.7
If we subtract 126 from 140, we 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:
140 divided by 18 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1348.77
If we take 126 away from 140, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1348.77, with a leftover of 0.014.
