We're dividing 24278904 by 868 
We're looking to find how many times 868 goes into 24278904.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 868 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 868

Let's proceed to step 2:
868 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 868

On to step 3:
868 goes into 242 0 times with a remainder of 242.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 242, we get 242.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 242, then repeat: 2427 / 868

On to step 4:
868 goes into 2427 2 times with a remainder of 691.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1736 from 2427, we get 691.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 691, then repeat: 6918 / 868

Step 5:
When dividing 6918 by 868, we get 7 with a remainder of 842.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 6076 away from 6918, we end up with 842.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 842 and continue: 8429 / 868

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 8429 by 868, we get 9 with a remainder of 617.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 279.0
Subtracting 7812 from 8429 leaves us with 617.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 617, then repeat: 6170 / 868

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 868 fits into 6170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2797.0
Subtract 6076 from 6170 to get 94.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 94 and repeat the process: 944 / 868

Let's proceed to step 8:
944 divided by 868 is 1 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27971.0
If we subtract 868 from 944, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
868 can be fit into 760 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 760.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27971.0
The remainder is 760 after subtracting 0 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7600, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
7600 divided by 868 is 8 with a remainder of 656.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27971.08
If we take 6944 away from 7600, we end up with 656.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
868 goes into 6560 7 times with a remainder of 484.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27971.087
If we subtract 6076 from 6560, we get 484.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 4840 by 868, we get 5 with a remainder of 500.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27971.0875
If we take 4340 away from 4840, we end up with 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
5000 divided by 868 is 5 with a remainder of 660.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27971.08755
Subtracting 4340 from 5000 leaves us with 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6600, and continue the process.

The final result is 27971.08755 with a remainder of 0.00066.
