Let's divide 579461 by 24
Let's see how many times 24 fits into 579461.

On 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.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 24

Let's proceed to step 2:
57 divided by 24 is 2 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 48 from 57 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 24

Step 3:
24 goes into 99 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 96 from 99 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 24

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 34 by 24, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 241.0
Deduct 24 from 34 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 106 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 106 by 24, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2414.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 96 from 106.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 24

Moving on to step 6:
24 can be fit into 101 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24144.0
If we take 96 away from 101, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 24 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 24144.2
Subtracting 48 from 50 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 24 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24144.2
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
24 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24144.208
Subtract 192 from 200 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
80 divided by 24 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 24144.2083
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 24, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24144.20833
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 24144.20833 with a balance of 8e-06.
