We divide 972266 by 48
Our goal is to divide 972266 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 96 away from 97, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 48

On to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 122 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 202.0
Deduct 96 from 122 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 266 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
266 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2025.0
Subtracting 240 from 266 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 48

On to step 6:
48 can be fit into 266 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20255.0
Subtracting 240 from 266 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
48 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20255.5
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 240 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20255.54
Deduct 192 from 200 and we're left with 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 9:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20255.541
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 10:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20255.5416
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20255.54166
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.

The final outcome is 20255.54166, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
