Let's divide 104989 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 104989.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 48

On to step 3:
48 can be fit into 104 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 96 from 104.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 89 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 48 from 89 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 418 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
418 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 218.0
If we take 384 away from 418, we end up with 34.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 349 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 349 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2187.0
Deduct 336 from 349 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2187.2
If we take 96 away from 130, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
48 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2187.27
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
48 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2187.27
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2187.2708
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 384 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2187.27083
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2187.270833
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2187.270833 with a balance of 1.6e-06.
