We divide 971332 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 971332 can be divided by 48.

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
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 96 from 97.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 48

On to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 113 / 48

On to step 4:
113 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 202.0
Subtracting 96 from 113 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 173 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
173 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2023.0
Deduct 144 from 173 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 292 / 48

On to step 6:
If we divide 292 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20236.0
If we take 288 away from 292, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20236.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20236.08
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 20236.083
If we take 144 away from 160, 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 10:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20236.0833
If we take 144 away from 160, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20236.0833 with a balance of 0.00016.
