We're dividing 990985 by 48 
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 990985.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 goes into 99 2 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 96 from 99.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 309 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 goes into 309 6 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 206.0
Subtracting 288 from 309 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 218 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2064.0
Subtract 192 from 218 to get 26.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 265 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 265 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20645.0
Subtracting 240 from 265 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
48 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20645.5
Subtract 240 from 250 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20645.52
If we take 96 away from 100, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20645.52
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20645.5208
Deduct 384 from 400 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20645.52083
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20645.520833
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.

After the division, we end up with 20645.520833 and a remainder of 1.6e-06.
