Let's divide 973954 by 48
We want to divide 973954 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 48

Step 2:
When dividing 97 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 96 from 97 to get 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
48 can be fit into 13 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 13 to get 13.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 139 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
139 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 202.0
Subtract 96 from 139 to get 43.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 435 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 435 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2029.0
If we subtract 432 from 435, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 48

On to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20290.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
340 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20290.7
Deduct 336 from 340 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20290.7
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20290.708
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.

Advancing to step 10:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20290.7083
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.

Moving on to step 11:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20290.70833
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 20290.70833 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
