Let's divide 838659 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 838659 can be divided by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 83 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 83, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 goes into 358 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 336 from 358 to get 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 226 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
Deduct 192 from 226 and we're left with 34.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 345 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 345 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1747.0
Subtracting 336 from 345 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 48

On to step 6:
48 can be fit into 99 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17472.0
Deduct 96 from 99 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
48 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17472.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 300 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17472.06
If we subtract 288 from 300, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 120 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17472.062
Subtracting 96 from 120 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 240 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17472.0625
Subtracting 240 from 240 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 11:
48 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17472.0625
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17472.0625
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17472.0625 and a remainder of 0.0.
