We're dividing 494962 by 24 
Our goal is to divide 494962 by 24.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 24

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 24 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 24

Step 3:
24 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 24

Moving on to step 4:
24 goes into 149 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 206.0
Deduct 144 from 149 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 24

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 56 by 24, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2062.0
Subtracting 48 from 56 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 24

On to step 6:
The number 24 fits into 82 3 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20623.0
If we take 72 away from 82, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
24 goes into 100 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20623.4
Subtract 96 from 100 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 24, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20623.41
Subtracting 24 from 40 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.

Step 9:
The number 24 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20623.416
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20623.4166
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.

The final outcome is 20623.4166, with a leftover of 0.00016.
