We're dividing 972537 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 972537.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 96 from 97, we get 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 125 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 125 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 29.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 202.0
Subtracting 96 from 125 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 293 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 293 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2026.0
Subtracting 288 from 293 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 goes into 57 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20261.0
Deduct 48 from 57 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 48 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20261.1
Deduct 48 from 90 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20261.18
Subtracting 384 from 420 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 20261.187
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20261.1875
If we subtract 240 from 240, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20261.1875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20261.1875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 20261.1875, and the remainder is 0.0.
