We look at the division of 48764003 by 872 
We're looking to find how many times 872 goes into 48764003.

Let's proceed to step 1:
872 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 872

Step 2:
872 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 487 / 872

Advancing to step 3:
487 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 487.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 487 after subtracting 0 from 487.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 487, then carry on: 4876 / 872

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 4876 by 872, we get 5 with a remainder of 516.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4360 from 4876 leaves us with 516.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 516, then repeat: 5164 / 872

Advancing to step 5:
5164 divided by 872 is 5 with a remainder of 804.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 4360 from 5164, we get 804.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 804, then carry on: 8040 / 872

On to step 6:
872 goes into 8040 9 times with a remainder of 192.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 559.0
Subtract 7848 from 8040 to get 192.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 192, then carry on: 1920 / 872

Let's proceed to step 7:
872 can be fit into 1920 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 176.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5592.0
Deduct 1744 from 1920 and we're left with 176.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 176 and continue with: 1763 / 872

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 1763 by 872, we get 2 and a remainder of 19.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55922.0
If we take 1744 away from 1763, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 872 fits into 190 0 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55922.0
Subtract 0 from 190 to get 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
1900 divided by 872 is 2 with a remainder of 156.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55922.02
Subtract 1744 from 1900 to get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 872 fits into 1560 1 times, leaving a remainder of 688.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55922.021
Subtracting 872 from 1560 leaves us with 688.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
872 goes into 6880 7 times with a remainder of 776.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55922.0217
The remainder is 776 after subtracting 6104 from 6880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
872 goes into 7760 8 times with a remainder of 784.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55922.02178
Subtract 6976 from 7760 to get 784.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7840, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
872 goes into 7840 8 times with a remainder of 864.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 55922.021788
The remainder is 864 after subtracting 6976 from 7840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 55922.021788 with a balance of 8.64e-05.
