We divide 496603 by 24
We want to figure out the number of times 496603 can be divided by 24.

Step 1:
24 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 24

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 24 fits into 49 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 48 from 49 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 24

Let's proceed to step 4:
24 can be fit into 166 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 206.0
Deduct 144 from 166 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 220 / 24

Going ahead to step 5:
24 goes into 220 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2069.0
Subtract 216 from 220 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 24

Moving on to step 6:
24 goes into 43 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20691.0
Subtract 24 from 43 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 24, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20691.7
If we take 168 away from 190, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 24, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20691.79
Subtract 216 from 220 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 24, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20691.791
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20691.7916
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
24 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20691.79166
If we subtract 144 from 160, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20691.79166 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
