987403 divided by 48 
Our goal is to divide 987403 by 48.

Step 1:
9 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 48

On to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 96 away from 98, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
27 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 274 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
274 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 205.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 240 from 274.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 340 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 340 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2057.0
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 43 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 43.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20570.0
If we take 0 away from 43, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20570.8
Deduct 384 from 430 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20570.89
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20570.895
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 240 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20570.8958
Deduct 384 from 400 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20570.89583
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20570.895833
If we subtract 144 from 160, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20570.895833 with a balance of 1.6e-06.
