Let's divide 512982 by 24
We want to figure out the number of times 512982 can be divided by 24.

Going ahead to step 1:
24 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 24

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 24, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 48 from 51 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
24 goes into 32 1 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 24 away from 32, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 24

Let's proceed to step 4:
24 can be fit into 89 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 72 from 89.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 24

On to step 5:
When dividing 178 by 24, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2137.0
Subtracting 168 from 178 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 102 / 24

Let's proceed to step 6:
102 divided by 24 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21374.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 96 from 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 24, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21374.2
Subtracting 48 from 60 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
24 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21374.25
If we take 120 away from 120, we end up with 0.
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 9:
24 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21374.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
24 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21374.25
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 21374.25 with a balance of 0.0.
