981845 divided by 48 
We want to divide 981845 by 48.

Step 1:
The number 48 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 48

On to step 2:
98 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 96 from 98, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 48

On to step 3:
48 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
218 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 204.0
Subtract 192 from 218 to get 26.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 264 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 264 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2045.0
If we take 240 away from 264, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 245 / 48

On to step 6:
If we divide 245 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20455.0
If we subtract 240 from 245, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20455.1
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20455.1
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20455.104
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 192 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20455.1041
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 48 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20455.10416
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20455.104166
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 20455.104166 with a remaining 3.2e-06.
