We divide 999586 by 48
Our goal is to divide 999586 by 48.

On to step 1:
48 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 goes into 99 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 96 from 99 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 39 0 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 395 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 395 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 208.0
If we subtract 384 from 395, we get 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
118 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2082.0
Subtracting 96 from 118 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 can be fit into 226 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20824.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 192 from 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 340 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20824.7
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up 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 8:
If we divide 40 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20824.7
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.

Moving on to step 9:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20824.708
Deduct 384 from 400 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20824.7083
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 20824.70833
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 20824.70833 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
