We look at the division of 24721229 by 612 
We want to figure out the number of times 24721229 can be divided by 612.

Moving on to step 1:
612 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 612

Moving on to step 2:
The number 612 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 612

Advancing to step 3:
612 can be fit into 247 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 247.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 247 after subtracting 0 from 247.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 247 and continue with: 2472 / 612

Advancing to step 4:
612 goes into 2472 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 2448 from 2472.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 241 / 612

Advancing to step 5:
The number 612 fits into 241 0 times, leaving a remainder of 241.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 241, we end up with 241.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 241, then carry on: 2412 / 612

On to step 6:
612 goes into 2412 3 times with a remainder of 576.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 403.0
If we take 1836 away from 2412, we end up with 576.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 576, then carry on: 5762 / 612

On to step 7:
612 can be fit into 5762 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 254.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4039.0
The remainder is 254 after subtracting 5508 from 5762.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 254, then carry on: 2549 / 612

Step 8:
When dividing 2549 by 612, we get 4 with a remainder of 101.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40394.0
If we subtract 2448 from 2549, we get 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
612 goes into 1010 1 times with a remainder of 398.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40394.1
Subtract 612 from 1010 to get 398.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 612 fits into 3980 6 times, leaving a remainder of 308.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40394.16
If we subtract 3672 from 3980, we get 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Step 11:
612 goes into 3080 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40394.165
If we take 3060 away from 3080, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
612 can be fit into 200 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 200.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40394.165
Subtract 0 from 200 to get 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
612 can be fit into 2000 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 164.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40394.16503
If we take 1836 away from 2000, we end up with 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 612 fits into 1640 2 times, leaving a remainder of 416.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40394.165032
Subtract 1224 from 1640 to get 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 612 fits into 4160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 488.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40394.1650326
If we subtract 3672 from 4160, we get 488.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 612 fits into 4880 7 times, leaving a remainder of 596.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40394.16503267
Subtract 4284 from 4880 to get 596.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5960, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 40394.16503267 and a remainder of 5.96e-07.
