495979 divided by 24 
We want to divide 495979 by 24.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 24 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
24 can be fit into 49 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 48 from 49 to get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 24

On to step 3:
24 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 24

On to step 4:
When dividing 159 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 206.0
If we take 144 away from 159, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 24

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 157 by 24, we get 6 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2066.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 144 from 157.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 139 / 24

Let's proceed to step 6:
139 divided by 24 is 5 with a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20665.0
Subtract 120 from 139 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
24 can be fit into 190 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20665.7
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 168 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 24, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20665.79
If we subtract 216 from 220, 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:
When dividing 40 by 24, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20665.791
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.

On to step 10:
24 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20665.7916
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:
24 can be fit into 160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20665.79166
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.

The final outcome is 20665.79166, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
