Let's divide 744987 by 48
Our goal is to divide 744987 by 48.

On to step 1:
48 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 74 to get 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 48

Step 3:
48 can be fit into 264 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 240 from 264, we get 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
249 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 240 from 249.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 48

Step 5:
When dividing 98 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1552.0
Subtract 96 from 98 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 48

On to step 6:
When dividing 27 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15520.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 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:
When dividing 270 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15520.5
Subtract 240 from 270 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15520.56
Subtracting 288 from 300 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15520.562
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 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15520.5625
Subtract 240 from 240 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15520.5625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15520.5625
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.

After the division, we end up with 15520.5625 and a remainder of 0.0.
