Let's divide 879480 by 48
Our goal is to divide 879480 by 48.

On to step 1:
48 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 48

Step 2:
The number 48 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 87, we end up with 39.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 399 / 48

On to step 3:
48 goes into 399 8 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 384 from 399 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 48

Step 4:
48 goes into 154 3 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 183.0
Subtract 144 from 154 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 108 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1832.0
Deduct 96 from 108 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 120 / 48

On to step 6:
120 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18322.0
Subtracting 96 from 120 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
48 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18322.5
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.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18322.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

On to step 9:
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: 18322.5
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.

The quotient of the division is 18322.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
