872079 ÷ 48 
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 872079.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 48

On to step 2:
48 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 87 and we're left with 39.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 392 / 48

Step 3:
392 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 384 from 392 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 80 / 48

Step 4:
48 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 48 from 80.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 327 / 48

Step 5:
48 goes into 327 6 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1816.0
Subtract 288 from 327 to get 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 48

Step 6:
The number 48 fits into 399 8 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18168.0
If we subtract 384 from 399, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18168.3
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 144 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18168.31
If we subtract 48 from 60, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
48 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18168.312
If we take 96 away from 120, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18168.3125
Deduct 240 from 240 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18168.3125
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18168.3125
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.

After the division, we end up with 18168.3125 and a remainder of 0.0.
