We look at the division of 24720838 by 990 
We want to divide 24720838 by 990.

Let's proceed to step 1:
990 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 990

On to step 2:
The number 990 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 990

Advancing to step 3:
990 goes into 247 0 times with a remainder of 247.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 247 leaves us with 247.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 247, then repeat: 2472 / 990

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 2472 by 990, we get 2 and a remainder of 492.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1980 from 2472 leaves us with 492.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 492, then repeat: 4920 / 990

Step 5:
990 goes into 4920 4 times with a remainder of 960.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 3960 from 4920, we get 960.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 960 and continue: 9608 / 990

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 9608 by 990, we get 9 and a remainder of 698.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 249.0
Subtract 8910 from 9608 to get 698.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 698, then repeat: 6983 / 990

Advancing to step 7:
990 goes into 6983 7 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2497.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 6930 from 6983.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 538 / 990

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 538 by 990, we get 0 and a remainder of 538.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24970.0
If we take 0 away from 538, we end up with 538.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
990 can be fit into 5380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 430.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24970.5
If we subtract 4950 from 5380, we get 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 4300 by 990, we get 4 with a remainder of 340.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24970.54
If we subtract 3960 from 4300, we get 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
3400 divided by 990 is 3 with a remainder of 430.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24970.543
If we subtract 2970 from 3400, we get 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 4300 by 990, we get 4 and a remainder of 340.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24970.5434
Deduct 3960 from 4300 and we're left with 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 990 fits into 3400 3 times, leaving a remainder of 430.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24970.54343
Deduct 2970 from 3400 and we're left with 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
990 goes into 4300 4 times with a remainder of 340.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24970.543434
The remainder is 340 after subtracting 3960 from 4300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
3400 divided by 990 is 3 with a remainder of 430.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24970.5434343
Subtracting 2970 from 3400 leaves us with 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
990 goes into 4300 4 times with a remainder of 340.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24970.54343434
If we subtract 3960 from 4300, we get 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 24970.54343434 with a balance of 3.4e-07.
