We divide 479973 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 479973.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 48

On to step 2:
48 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 goes into 479 9 times with a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 432 from 479, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 479 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtracting 432 from 479 leaves us with 47.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 477 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 477 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 45.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 999.0
Subtract 432 from 477 to get 45.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 453 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 453 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9999.0
If we subtract 432 from 453, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 210 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9999.4
If we take 192 away from 210, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
48 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9999.43
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 144 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 9:
48 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9999.437
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
48 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9999.4375
Subtracting 240 from 240 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9999.4375
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 0 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9999.4375
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9999.4375 and a remainder of 0.0.
