We're dividing 7974 by 48 
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 7974.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 48

On to step 2:
48 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 48 from 79.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 48

On to step 3:
If we divide 317 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 29.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 288 away from 317, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 294 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 can be fit into 294 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 166.0
Subtracting 288 from 294 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 5:
When dividing 60 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 166.1
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.

On to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 166.12
Subtract 96 from 120 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166.125
Subtracting 240 from 240 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.

Moving on to step 8:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 166.125
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 166.125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 166.125 with a remainder of 0.0.
