Let's divide 490972 by 24
Our goal is to divide 490972 by 24.

Moving on to step 1:
24 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 24

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 24, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 24

On to step 3:
24 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 109 / 24

Going ahead to step 4:
24 goes into 109 4 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 204.0
If we take 96 away from 109, we end up with 13.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 24

Step 5:
24 can be fit into 137 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2045.0
Deduct 120 from 137 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 24

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 172 by 24, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20457.0
Subtract 168 from 172 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: 20457.1
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 24 from 40.
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 8:
When dividing 160 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20457.16
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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 9:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20457.166
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
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 20457.166, and the remainder is 0.0016.
