Let's divide 821278 by 48
Our goal is to divide 821278 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 82 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
82 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 82 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 341 / 48

On to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 341 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 336 from 341 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 52 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtracting 48 from 52 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 48

On to step 5:
47 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1710.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 478 / 48

On to step 6:
48 goes into 478 9 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17109.0
Subtracting 432 from 478 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17109.9
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
48 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17109.95
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 240 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17109.958
Subtract 384 from 400 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17109.9583
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17109.95833
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17109.95833 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
