762872 ÷ 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 762872 can be divided by 48.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 76 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 76, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 282 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 282 5 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 240 from 282 to get 42.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
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: 158.0
Subtract 384 from 428 to get 44.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 447 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 447 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1589.0
If we subtract 432 from 447, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 152 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
152 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15893.0
Deduct 144 from 152 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15893.1
Subtracting 48 from 80 leaves us 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 8:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15893.16
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15893.166
Subtract 288 from 320 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 15893.166 and a remainder of 0.0032.
