866779 divided by 48 
Our goal is to divide 866779 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 48

Step 2:
If we divide 86 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 86 leaves us with 38.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 386 / 48

Step 3:
If we divide 386 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 384 from 386.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 48

On to step 4:
If we divide 27 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 277 / 48

On to step 5:
48 goes into 277 5 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1805.0
Deduct 240 from 277 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 379 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 379 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18057.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 336 from 379.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18057.8
Subtract 384 from 430 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.

On to step 8:
460 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18057.89
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18057.895
If we take 240 away from 280, 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 10:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18057.8958
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 11:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18057.89583
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
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 12:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18057.895833
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 18057.895833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
