We look at the division of 980523 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 980523 can be divided by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 48

On to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 96 from 98, we get 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 20 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 205 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 205 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 13.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 204.0
Deduct 192 from 205 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 132 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 132 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2042.0
Subtracting 96 from 132 leaves us with 36.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 363 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
363 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20427.0
If we subtract 336 from 363, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 270 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20427.5
Subtract 240 from 270 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20427.56
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 288 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 120 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20427.562
Deduct 96 from 120 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
240 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20427.5625
Subtracting 240 from 240 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20427.5625
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20427.5625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20427.5625 with a balance of 0.0.
