We're dividing 881689 by 48 
We want to divide 881689 by 48.

Advancing 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
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 88 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 88 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 401 / 48

On to step 3:
When dividing 401 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 384 from 401 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 176 / 48

Step 4:
When dividing 176 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 32.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 183.0
If we subtract 144 from 176, we get 32.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 328 / 48

Step 5:
If we divide 328 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1836.0
Subtract 288 from 328 to get 40.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 goes into 409 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18368.0
If we take 384 away from 409, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18368.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 240 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18368.52
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:
48 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18368.52
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18368.5208
Subtract 384 from 400 to 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 11:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18368.52083
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
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 12:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18368.520833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18368.520833 with a balance of 1.6e-06.
