856139 ÷ 48 
We want to divide 856139 by 48.

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
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 85 to get 37.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 376 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 goes into 376 7 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 336 from 376 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 401 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 401 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 178.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 384 from 401.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 173 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 173 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1783.0
Subtracting 144 from 173 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 299 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 299 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17836.0
Subtracting 288 from 299 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17836.2
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17836.22
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 17836.22 with a balance of 0.044.
