We're dividing 78946 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 78946 can be divided by 48.

Step 1:
7 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
48 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 78 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
309 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 288 from 309 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 goes into 214 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 192 from 214.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 226 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 226 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1644.0
Subtracting 192 from 226 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
340 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1644.7
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1644.7
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
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 8:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1644.708
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.

Step 9:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1644.7083
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1644.70833
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.

The quotient of the division is 1644.70833, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
