Let's divide 728983 by 24
We want to figure out the number of times 728983 can be divided by 24.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 24 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 24

Advancing to step 2:
24 goes into 72 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 72 from 72 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 24

Advancing to step 3:
8 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 24

Step 4:
If we divide 89 by 24, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 303.0
Subtracting 72 from 89 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 24

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 178 by 24, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3037.0
If we take 168 away from 178, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 103 / 24

Moving on to step 6:
103 divided by 24 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 30374.0
If we subtract 96 from 103, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
24 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30374.2
If we take 48 away from 70, we end up with 22.
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:
24 can be fit into 220 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30374.29
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 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:
40 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30374.291
Subtracting 24 from 40 leaves us with 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 10:
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: 30374.2916
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 24 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30374.29166
Subtract 144 from 160 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.

The quotient of the division is 30374.29166, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
