We divide 871865 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 871865.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 48

On to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 48 from 87.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 391 / 48

On to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 391 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 384 from 391, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 48

On to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 48 from 78.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 306 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 306 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1816.0
Deduct 288 from 306 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 185 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 185 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18163.0
If we take 144 away from 185, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 410 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18163.8
If we subtract 384 from 410, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
260 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18163.85
Subtracting 240 from 260 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
48 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18163.854
Subtracting 192 from 200 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18163.8541
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 48 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18163.85416
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18163.854166
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 18163.854166 with a remaining 3.2e-06.
