We're dividing 552787 by 24 
Our goal is to divide 552787 by 24.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 24 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 24

Advancing to step 2:
The number 24 fits into 55 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 48 from 55 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 24

On to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 72 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 72 from 72 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 24

Going ahead to step 4:
7 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 230.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 24

Step 5:
When dividing 78 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2303.0
If we take 72 away from 78, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 24

Step 6:
24 goes into 67 2 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23032.0
If we subtract 48 from 67, 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.

Step 7:
24 goes into 190 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23032.7
Subtracting 168 from 190 leaves us 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:
The number 24 fits into 220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23032.79
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
The number 24 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23032.791
If we take 24 away from 40, 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.

On to step 10:
The number 24 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23032.7916
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.

On to step 11:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23032.79166
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.

Our division results in 23032.79166 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
