Let's divide 989646 by 48
We want to divide 989646 by 48.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 96 from 98 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 29 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 296 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
48 goes into 296 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 206.0
If we take 288 away from 296, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 48

Step 5:
If we divide 84 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2061.0
If we subtract 48 from 84, we get 36.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 366 / 48

Step 6:
The number 48 fits into 366 7 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20617.0
If we subtract 336 from 366, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 48 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20617.6
If we subtract 288 from 300, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20617.62
Subtract 96 from 120 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 9:
48 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20617.625
Subtract 240 from 240 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20617.625
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20617.625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 20617.625 with a remaining 0.0.
