782878 ÷ 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 782878.

Let's proceed to step 1:
48 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 48

Step 2:
48 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 78 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 302 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
302 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 288 from 302, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 48

On to step 4:
48 goes into 148 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 163.0
If we take 144 away from 148, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1630.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
478 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16309.0
If we take 432 away from 478, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
460 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16309.9
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16309.95
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 240 from 280.
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 9:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16309.958
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16309.9583
Deduct 144 from 160 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.

On to step 11:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16309.95833
Subtract 144 from 160 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.

The quotient of the division is 16309.95833, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
