We divide 551884 by 24
We want to figure out the number of times 551884 can be divided by 24.

Going ahead to step 1:
24 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 24

On to step 2:
The number 24 fits into 55 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 48 away from 55, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 24

On to step 3:
24 can be fit into 71 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 48 from 71 to get 23.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 238 / 24

Step 4:
24 goes into 238 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 229.0
Deduct 216 from 238 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 24

Step 5:
24 can be fit into 228 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2299.0
If we subtract 216 from 228, we get 12.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 124 / 24

Step 6:
124 divided by 24 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 22995.0
Subtract 120 from 124 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
24 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22995.1
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 22995.16
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 22995.166
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 22995.166 with a balance of 0.0016.
