We look at the division of 1024701 by 204 
Our goal is to divide 1024701 by 204.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 204 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 204

Advancing to step 2:
204 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 102 / 204

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 102 by 204, we get 0 with a remainder of 102.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 102 leaves us with 102.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 102, then repeat: 1024 / 204

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 204 fits into 1024 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 1020 from 1024, we get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 204

On to step 5:
When dividing 47 by 204, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 470 / 204

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 470 by 204, we get 2 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 502.0
If we take 408 away from 470, we end up with 62.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 621 / 204

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 204 fits into 621 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5023.0
If we subtract 612 from 621, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
204 can be fit into 90 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5023.0
Deduct 0 from 90 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 900 by 204, we get 4 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5023.04
If we take 816 away from 900, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
204 can be fit into 840 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5023.044
Subtract 816 from 840 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5023.044, and the remainder is 0.0024.
