13879 divided by 24 
Our goal is to divide 13879 by 24.

On to step 1:
24 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 24

On to step 2:
24 goes into 13 0 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 13 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 138 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 120 from 138 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 24

Advancing to step 4:
24 goes into 187 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 168 from 187 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 199 / 24

Step 5:
24 can be fit into 199 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 578.0
Deduct 192 from 199 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 24 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 578.2
Subtract 48 from 70 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
24 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 578.29
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 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 8:
The number 24 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 578.291
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 24 from 40.
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:
The number 24 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 578.2916
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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 10:
When dividing 160 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 578.29166
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.

Our division results in 578.29166 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
