We're dividing 969874 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 969874 can be divided by 48.

Step 1:
The number 48 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 can be fit into 96 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 96 from 96.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 202.0
Subtracting 96 from 98 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
48 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2020.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 274 / 48

Step 6:
The number 48 fits into 274 5 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20205.0
If we subtract 240 from 274, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
48 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20205.7
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20205.7
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
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:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20205.708
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20205.7083
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20205.70833
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 20205.70833 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
