Let's divide 859919 by 48
We want to divide 859919 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
48 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 48

On to step 2:
If we divide 85 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 85, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 379 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
379 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 336 from 379, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 48

Step 4:
48 goes into 439 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 179.0
Subtract 432 from 439 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1791.0
Subtracting 48 from 71 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 239 / 48

Step 6:
239 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17914.0
If we take 192 away from 239, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 48 fits into 470 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17914.9
Subtracting 432 from 470 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 380 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17914.97
Subtracting 336 from 380 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17914.979
If we subtract 432 from 440, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17914.9791
Deduct 48 from 80 and we're left with 32.
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:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17914.97916
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
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:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17914.979166
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17914.979166, with a leftover of 3.2e-06.
