Let's divide 982861 by 48
Our goal is to divide 982861 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 48

Step 2:
48 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 96 from 98.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 48

Step 3:
48 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 228 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 204.0
Deduct 192 from 228 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 366 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 can be fit into 366 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2047.0
Subtract 336 from 366 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 301 / 48

Step 6:
48 goes into 301 6 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20476.0
If we take 288 away from 301, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
130 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20476.2
Subtracting 96 from 130 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.

Moving on to step 8:
340 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20476.27
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20476.27
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 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 10:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20476.2708
If we subtract 384 from 400, we get 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 11:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20476.27083
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 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.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20476.270833
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 20476.270833 with a balance of 1.6e-06.
