We're dividing 968872 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 968872 can be divided by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
48 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 96 / 48

On to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 96 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 96 away from 96, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 48

Step 3:
When dividing 8 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 201.0
Subtracting 48 from 88 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 407 / 48

Step 5:
48 can be fit into 407 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2018.0
If we subtract 384 from 407, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 232 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20184.0
If we take 192 away from 232, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20184.8
If we take 384 away from 400, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20184.83
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20184.833
Subtract 144 from 160 to 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.

Our division results in 20184.833 with a remaining 0.0016.
