21472 divided by 24 
Let's see how many times 24 fits into 21472.

Advancing to step 1:
24 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 214 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
24 can be fit into 214 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 192 from 214, we get 22.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 227 / 24

Going ahead to step 4:
24 goes into 227 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 216 from 227.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 112 / 24

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 112 by 24, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 894.0
Subtract 96 from 112 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 6:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 894.6
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
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: 894.66
Subtract 144 from 160 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 894.66 with a balance of 0.016.
