Let's divide 850534 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 850534.

On to step 1:
48 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 48

Step 2:
When dividing 85 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 85, we get 37.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 370 / 48

On to step 3:
If we divide 370 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 336 away from 370, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 345 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 345 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 336 from 345.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 93 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 93 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1771.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 48 from 93.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 454 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 454 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17719.0
Subtract 432 from 454 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
48 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17719.4
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 192 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17719.45
Subtract 240 from 280 to get 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:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17719.458
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.

Step 10:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17719.4583
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17719.45833
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.

The final result is 17719.45833 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
