We divide 280723 by 24
We want to figure out the number of times 280723 can be divided by 24.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 24, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 24 from 28.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 24

On to step 3:
When dividing 40 by 24, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 24 away from 40, we end up with 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 24

Step 4:
If we divide 167 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 116.0
If we take 144 away from 167, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 232 / 24

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 232 by 24, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1169.0
If we subtract 216 from 232, we get 16.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 163 / 24

Let's proceed to step 6:
24 goes into 163 6 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11696.0
If we subtract 144 from 163, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
24 goes into 190 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11696.7
If we subtract 168 from 190, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
24 goes into 220 9 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11696.79
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
40 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11696.791
Subtract 24 from 40 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.

Advancing to step 10:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11696.7916
Subtracting 144 from 160 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.

Advancing to step 11:
160 divided by 24 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11696.79166
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.

After the division, we end up with 11696.79166 and a remainder of 1.6e-05.
