Let's divide 475987 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 475987.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
48 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 475 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 can be fit into 475 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 432 from 475, we get 43.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 439 / 48

Step 4:
If we divide 439 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtract 432 from 439 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 78 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 991.0
Deduct 48 from 78 and we're left with 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 307 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 19.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9916.0
Subtracting 288 from 307 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
190 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9916.3
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 144 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
48 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9916.39
Deduct 432 from 460 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
48 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9916.395
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 240 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9916.3958
Subtracting 384 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9916.39583
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9916.395833
Deduct 144 from 160 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.

After the division, we end up with 9916.395833 and a remainder of 1.6e-06.
