We're dividing 88954 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 88954.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 8 0 times, leaving 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.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 88 to get 40.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 409 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 409 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 25.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 384 from 409 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 48

Step 4:
If we divide 255 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 185.0
If we take 240 away from 255, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 154 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 can be fit into 154 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1853.0
Deduct 144 from 154 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 100 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1853.2
If we subtract 96 from 100, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
48 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1853.2
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1853.208
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1853.2083
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.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1853.20833
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 1853.20833 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
