Let's divide 864889 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 864889.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 48

On to step 2:
If we divide 86 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 86 and we're left with 38.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 384 / 48

Step 3:
48 can be fit into 384 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 384 from 384 to get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 8 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 88 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1801.0
If we take 48 away from 88, we end up with 40.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 409 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18018.0
Deduct 384 from 409 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
48 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18018.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 240 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
48 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18018.52
If we subtract 96 from 100, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18018.52
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18018.5208
If we take 384 away from 400, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18018.52083
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18018.520833
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.

The final result is 18018.520833 with a remainder of 1.6e-06.
