Let's divide 342972 by 24
Let's see how many times 24 fits into 342972.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 24

On to step 2:
34 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 24 from 34 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 102 / 24

Step 3:
When dividing 102 by 24, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 96 from 102 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 24

Advancing to step 4:
24 goes into 69 2 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142.0
Deduct 48 from 69 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 24

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 217 by 24, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1429.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 216 from 217.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 24

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 12 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14290.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
24 can be fit into 120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14290.5
If we subtract 120 from 120, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
24 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14290.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14290.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14290.5 with a remaining 0.0.
