Let's divide 999517 by 48
We want to divide 999517 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
48 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 96 from 99 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 can be fit into 39 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 395 / 48

On to step 4:
395 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 208.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 384 from 395.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 111 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 111 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2082.0
If we take 96 away from 111, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 157 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20823.0
Subtract 144 from 157 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
130 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20823.2
Subtract 96 from 130 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20823.27
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
40 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20823.27
If we subtract 0 from 40, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20823.2708
Subtract 384 from 400 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20823.27083
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.

Step 12:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20823.270833
If we subtract 144 from 160, 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.

Our division results in 20823.270833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
