Let's divide 878629 by 24
We want to divide 878629 by 24.

Advancing to step 1:
24 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 24

Let's proceed to step 2:
24 goes into 87 3 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 72 from 87, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 24

Advancing to step 3:
24 goes into 158 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 144 from 158, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 24

Step 4:
If we divide 146 by 24, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 366.0
If we take 144 away from 146, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 24

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 22 by 24, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3660.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 24

Step 6:
24 can be fit into 229 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36609.0
Deduct 216 from 229 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
24 goes into 130 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 36609.5
Deduct 120 from 130 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 24, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36609.54
Deduct 96 from 100 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36609.541
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 24 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36609.5416
Subtracting 144 from 160 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.

Moving on to step 11:
160 divided by 24 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36609.54166
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.

Our division results in 36609.54166 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
