We're dividing 596999 by 24 
We want to divide 596999 by 24.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
59 divided by 24 is 2 with a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 48 from 59 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 116 / 24

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 116 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 96 from 116 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 209 / 24

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 209 by 24, we get 8 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 248.0
If we subtract 192 from 209, we get 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 24

Step 5:
If we divide 179 by 24, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2487.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 168 from 179.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 24

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 119 by 24, we get 4 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24874.0
Subtract 96 from 119 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 230 by 24, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24874.9
Deduct 216 from 230 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 140 by 24, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24874.95
Subtracting 120 from 140 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
24 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24874.958
If we take 192 away from 200, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 24 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24874.9583
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 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:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24874.95833
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 24874.95833, with a leftover of 8e-06.
