989693 divided by 48 
We want to divide 989693 by 48.

On to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 9 0 times, leaving 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.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 96 away from 98, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 48

Step 3:
48 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 296 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 can be fit into 296 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 206.0
Subtract 288 from 296 to get 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 48

Step 5:
48 goes into 89 1 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2061.0
Deduct 48 from 89 and we're left with 41.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 413 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
413 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20618.0
Subtracting 384 from 413 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20618.6
Subtract 288 from 290 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
48 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20618.6
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
48 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20618.604
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 192 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20618.6041
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20618.60416
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.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20618.604166
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20618.604166 with a balance of 3.2e-06.
