We divide 997504 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 997504 can be divided by 48.

On to step 1:
48 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 48

On to step 2:
48 goes into 99 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 96 from 99 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 48

On to step 3:
If we divide 37 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 375 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 375 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 207.0
Subtract 336 from 375 to get 39.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 390 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 390 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2078.0
If we take 384 away from 390, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 48

On to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 64 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20781.0
If we subtract 48 from 64, 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 7:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20781.3
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20781.33
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.

The final outcome is 20781.33, with a leftover of 0.016.
