Let's divide 971592 by 48
We want to divide 971592 by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 96 from 97.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 115 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
48 goes into 115 2 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 202.0
Subtracting 96 from 115 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
199 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2024.0
Subtract 192 from 199 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 48

Step 6:
When dividing 72 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20241.0
Subtract 48 from 72 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
240 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20241.5
If we take 240 away from 240, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20241.5
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.

Moving on to step 9:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20241.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20241.5 with a balance of 0.0.
