Pretty sure you have to use 割 but I don't know which pronunciation to use and
how to say "equals" in this context.

How to say 24 divided by 8 equals 3
It's read as 「24割る8は4」「にじゅうよんわるはちはよん」[nijuu yon waru hachi wa yon]. (I think
we often say「24割る8イコール4」「にじゅうよんわるはちイコールよん」[nijuu yon waru hachi ikooru yon]
after junior high school...) Wait, 24÷8=...4? Isn't it 3?

As Chocolate answered correctly, "equal" is usually omitted, but if you want
to say it, it would be である, or なり (natural in this context but archaic). The
one with イコール that Chocolate mentions is often heard, but I do not think it is
a grammatical Japanese sentence. It is tracing the mathematical notation token
by token.
