We divide 972709 by 24
We want to figure out the number of times 972709 can be divided by 24.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 24 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 24

Let's proceed to step 2:
24 can be fit into 97 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 96 away from 97, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 24

Step 3:
If we divide 12 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 24

Let's proceed to step 4:
127 divided by 24 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 405.0
Deduct 120 from 127 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 70 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
24 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4052.0
If we take 48 away from 70, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 24

Let's proceed to step 6:
24 can be fit into 229 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40529.0
Deduct 216 from 229 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
130 divided by 24 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40529.5
If we take 120 away from 130, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
100 divided by 24 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40529.54
If we subtract 96 from 100, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
24 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40529.541
Subtract 24 from 40 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40529.5416
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40529.54166
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 final outcome is 40529.54166, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
