We look at the division of 974742 by 24 
We want to divide 974742 by 24.

On to step 1:
24 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 24

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 subtract 96 from 97, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 24

On to step 3:
24 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 147 / 24

Moving on to step 4:
The number 24 fits into 147 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 406.0
Subtract 144 from 147 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 24

Going ahead to step 5:
24 can be fit into 34 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4061.0
If we subtract 24 from 34, we get 10.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 102 / 24

Step 6:
If we divide 102 by 24, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40614.0
Subtract 96 from 102 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
60 divided by 24 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40614.2
Subtract 48 from 60 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
120 divided by 24 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 40614.25
Subtract 120 from 120 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
0 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40614.25
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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 10:
24 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40614.25
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.

The quotient of the division is 40614.25, and the remainder is 0.0.
