Let's divide 908723 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 908723 can be divided by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 90 / 48

Step 2:
90 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 90, we end up with 42.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 48

On to step 3:
When dividing 428 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 384 from 428.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 447 / 48

On to step 4:
When dividing 447 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 189.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 432 from 447.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 152 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 152 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1893.0
If we subtract 144 from 152, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 48

Step 6:
If we divide 83 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18931.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 48 from 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18931.7
If we subtract 336 from 350, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
48 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18931.72
If we subtract 96 from 140, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 440 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18931.729
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
80 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18931.7291
If we take 48 away from 80, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18931.72916
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18931.729166
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18931.729166, with a leftover of 3.2e-06.
