976787 ÷ 48 
We want to divide 976787 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 96 from 97 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 167 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 203.0
If we subtract 144 from 167, we get 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 goes into 238 4 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2034.0
If we take 192 away from 238, we end up with 46.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 467 / 48

Step 6:
The number 48 fits into 467 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20349.0
Deduct 432 from 467 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
350 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20349.7
If we subtract 336 from 350, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
48 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20349.72
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 96 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 440 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20349.729
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20349.7291
Subtract 48 from 80 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20349.72916
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20349.729166
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 20349.729166 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
