We're dividing 879371 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 879371.

Step 1:
48 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 87 and we're left with 39.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 399 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
48 goes into 399 8 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 384 from 399.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 153 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 153 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 183.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 144 from 153.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 97 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1832.0
If we subtract 96 from 97, we get 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 11 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18320.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18320.2
Deduct 96 from 110 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 140 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18320.22
Subtracting 96 from 140 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18320.22 with a balance of 0.044.
