We divide 48738421 by 873
We want to divide 48738421 by 873.

Let's proceed to step 1:
873 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 873

Step 2:
873 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 487 / 873

Let's proceed to step 3:
873 can be fit into 487 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 487.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 487 and we're left with 487.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 487 and continue with: 4873 / 873

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 4873 by 873, we get 5 with a remainder of 508.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4365 from 4873, we get 508.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 508, then repeat: 5088 / 873

Step 5:
The number 873 fits into 5088 5 times, leaving a remainder of 723.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 723 after subtracting 4365 from 5088.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 723 and continue: 7234 / 873

Advancing to step 6:
The number 873 fits into 7234 8 times, leaving a remainder of 250.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 558.0
Subtracting 6984 from 7234 leaves us with 250.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 250, then repeat: 2502 / 873

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 2502 by 873, we get 2 and a remainder of 756.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5582.0
Deduct 1746 from 2502 and we're left with 756.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 756, then repeat: 7561 / 873

On to step 8:
7561 divided by 873 is 8 with a remainder of 577.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55828.0
Subtract 6984 from 7561 to get 577.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5770, and continue the process.

Step 9:
5770 divided by 873 is 6 with a remainder of 532.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55828.6
Deduct 5238 from 5770 and we're left with 532.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 873 fits into 5320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55828.66
Subtracting 5238 from 5320 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 55828.66 and a remainder of 0.082.
