We divide 821979 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 821979 can be divided by 48.

On to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
48 goes into 82 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 82 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 341 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 can be fit into 341 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 336 from 341, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 59 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 171.0
Deduct 48 from 59 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 can be fit into 117 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1712.0
If we subtract 96 from 117, we get 21.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 219 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17124.0
If we subtract 192 from 219, 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.

On to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 270 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17124.5
Deduct 240 from 270 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17124.56
If we subtract 288 from 300, we get 12.
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:
48 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17124.562
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.

Advancing to step 10:
48 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17124.5625
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17124.5625
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17124.5625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17124.5625, and the remainder is 0.0.
