We divide 999697 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 999697.

On to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
99 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 96 away from 99, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 48

On to step 3:
When dividing 39 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 396 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 396 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 208.0
If we take 384 away from 396, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 48

On to step 5:
129 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 33.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2082.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 96 from 129.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 337 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 337 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20827.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 336 from 337.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20827.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we 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.

Step 8:
48 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20827.02
Subtract 96 from 100 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20827.02
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 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:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20827.0208
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 20827.02083
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:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20827.020833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20827.020833 with a balance of 1.6e-06.
