Let's divide 24438 by 79
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 24438.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
79 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 goes into 244 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 237 from 244.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
79 goes into 73 0 times with a remainder of 73.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 738 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
79 can be fit into 738 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 309.0
Subtracting 711 from 738 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
79 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 309.3
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 237 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
79 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 309.34
Subtract 316 from 330 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
79 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 309.341
If we take 79 away from 140, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
79 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 309.3417
Deduct 553 from 610 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
570 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 309.34177
Subtract 553 from 570 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 309.34177 with a balance of 1.7e-05.
