Let's divide 81986 by 24
We're looking to find how many times 24 goes into 81986.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 24, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 81 by 24, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 72 from 81 to get 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 24

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 99 by 24, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 96 from 99.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 24

Going ahead to step 4:
24 can be fit into 38 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 341.0
If we take 24 away from 38, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 24

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 146 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3416.0
If we take 144 away from 146, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 24 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3416.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 24, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3416.08
If we take 192 away from 200, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
24 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3416.083
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
24 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3416.0833
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3416.0833 with a balance of 8e-05.
