Let's divide 854815 by 48
We want to divide 854815 by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
48 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 85 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 85 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 374 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 374 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 336 from 374 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 48

On to step 4:
When dividing 388 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we subtract 384 from 388, we get 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 48

On to step 5:
When dividing 41 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1780.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 415 / 48

On to step 6:
If we divide 415 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 31.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17808.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 384 from 415.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
310 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17808.6
If we take 288 away from 310, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17808.64
If we take 192 away from 220, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
280 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17808.645
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.

Step 10:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17808.6458
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:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17808.64583
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:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17808.645833
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.

The final outcome is 17808.645833, with a leftover of 1.6e-06.
