Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 987

On to step 2:
987 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 487 / 987

Step 3:
987 can be fit into 487 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 487.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 487 leaves us with 487.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 487 and continue: 4876 / 987

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4876 by 987, we get 4 and a remainder of 928.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3948 from 4876 to get 928.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 928 and continue: 9282 / 987

On to step 5:
987 goes into 9282 9 times with a remainder of 399.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 8883 from 9282 to get 399.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 399 and continue with: 3995 / 987

Let's proceed to step 6:
987 goes into 3995 4 times with a remainder of 47.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 494.0
Subtracting 3948 from 3995 leaves us with 47.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 477 / 987

On to step 7:
477 divided by 987 is 0 with a remainder of 477.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4940.0
Subtracting 0 from 477 leaves us with 477.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 477, then repeat: 4772 / 987

Moving on to step 8:
987 can be fit into 4772 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 824.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49404.0
If we take 3948 away from 4772, we end up with 824.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
8240 divided by 987 is 8 with a remainder of 344.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49404.8
The remainder is 344 after subtracting 7896 from 8240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
3440 divided by 987 is 3 with a remainder of 479.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 49404.83
Deduct 2961 from 3440 and we're left with 479.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4790, and continue the process.

Step 11:
4790 divided by 987 is 4 with a remainder of 842.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49404.834
The remainder is 842 after subtracting 3948 from 4790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8420, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 8420 by 987, we get 8 with a remainder of 524.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49404.8348
If we subtract 7896 from 8420, we get 524.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 5240 by 987, we get 5 and a remainder of 305.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49404.83485
Subtract 4935 from 5240 to get 305.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3050, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 3050 by 987, we get 3 and a remainder of 89.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49404.834853
If we take 2961 away from 3050, we end up with 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
987 goes into 890 0 times with a remainder of 890.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49404.834853
If we take 0 away from 890, we end up with 890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
987 goes into 8900 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49404.83485309
If we take 8883 away from 8900, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 49404.83485309 and a remainder of 1.7e-08.
