Let's divide 979279 by 24
Our goal is to divide 979279 by 24.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 24

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 24, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 96 away from 97, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 24

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 19 by 24, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 192 / 24

Advancing to step 4:
24 goes into 192 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 408.0
If we subtract 192 from 192, we get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 24

Step 5:
24 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4080.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 24

Let's proceed to step 6:
24 goes into 79 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40803.0
Deduct 72 from 79 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
24 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 40803.2
Deduct 48 from 70 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
220 divided by 24 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40803.29
Subtract 216 from 220 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.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40803.291
If we subtract 24 from 40, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40803.2916
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.

Step 11:
The number 24 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40803.29166
If we subtract 144 from 160, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 40803.29166, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
