We divide 878623 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 878623.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 87 to get 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
398 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 384 from 398 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 146 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 146 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 183.0
Subtract 144 from 146 to get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1830.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 223 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 223 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18304.0
Deduct 192 from 223 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
48 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18304.6
If we take 288 away from 310, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
220 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18304.64
Deduct 192 from 220 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
48 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18304.645
Subtracting 240 from 280 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18304.6458
If we take 384 away from 400, we end up 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.

Advancing 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: 18304.64583
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18304.645833
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.

Our division results in 18304.645833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
