We're dividing 879562 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 879562.

On to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 48

Step 2:
48 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 87 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 399 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
399 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 384 from 399 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 155 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 can be fit into 155 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 183.0
Subtract 144 from 155 to get 11.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 116 / 48

Step 5:
48 goes into 116 2 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1832.0
Subtract 96 from 116 to get 20.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 202 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
48 goes into 202 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18324.0
Subtract 192 from 202 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
48 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18324.2
Deduct 96 from 100 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18324.2
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18324.208
Deduct 384 from 400 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18324.2083
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18324.20833
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 18324.20833 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
