788686 ÷ 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 788686.

On to step 1:
48 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
78 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 78 to get 30.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 308 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 308 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 288 from 308 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 206 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 206 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we take 192 away from 206, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 148 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1643.0
If we take 144 away from 148, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 48

Step 6:
46 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16430.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 460 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16430.9
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
48 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16430.95
If we subtract 240 from 280, 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16430.958
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16430.9583
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16430.95833
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.

The final result is 16430.95833 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
