We divide 899518 by 48
Our goal is to divide 899518 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 89 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 89 leaves us with 41.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 419 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 384 from 419.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 355 / 48

On to step 4:
If we divide 355 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187.0
If we subtract 336 from 355, we get 19.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 191 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 goes into 191 3 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1873.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 144 from 191.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 478 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 46.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18739.0
Subtract 432 from 478 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
48 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18739.9
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18739.95
Deduct 240 from 280 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18739.958
Subtract 384 from 400 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18739.9583
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.

Step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18739.95833
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.

After the division, we end up with 18739.95833 and a remainder of 1.6e-05.
