48242486 ÷ 987 
We're looking to find how many times 987 goes into 48242486.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 987, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 987

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 987 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 482 / 987

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 482 by 987, we get 0 with a remainder of 482.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 482, we get 482.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 482 and continue with: 4824 / 987

Step 4:
4824 divided by 987 is 4 with a remainder of 876.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3948 from 4824 and we're left with 876.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 876, then carry on: 8762 / 987

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 8762 by 987, we get 8 and a remainder of 866.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 866 after subtracting 7896 from 8762.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 866 and continue with: 8664 / 987

Going ahead to step 6:
987 can be fit into 8664 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 768.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 488.0
If we take 7896 away from 8664, we end up with 768.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 768 and continue: 7688 / 987

On to step 7:
987 goes into 7688 7 times with a remainder of 779.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4887.0
The remainder is 779 after subtracting 6909 from 7688.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 779, then repeat: 7796 / 987

Step 8:
7796 divided by 987 is 7 with a remainder of 887.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48877.0
If we subtract 6909 from 7796, we get 887.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8870, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
987 goes into 8870 8 times with a remainder of 974.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48877.8
If we subtract 7896 from 8870, we get 974.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9740, and continue the process.

Step 10:
987 goes into 9740 9 times with a remainder of 857.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48877.89
Subtracting 8883 from 9740 leaves us with 857.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8570, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 8570 by 987, we get 8 with a remainder of 674.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48877.898
The remainder is 674 after subtracting 7896 from 8570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 987 fits into 6740 6 times, leaving a remainder of 818.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48877.8986
Deduct 5922 from 6740 and we're left with 818.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 987 fits into 8180 8 times, leaving a remainder of 284.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48877.89868
Deduct 7896 from 8180 and we're left with 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
987 can be fit into 2840 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 866.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48877.898682
The remainder is 866 after subtracting 1974 from 2840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8660, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
987 can be fit into 8660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 764.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48877.8986828
If we subtract 7896 from 8660, we get 764.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7640, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 7640 by 987, we get 7 and a remainder of 731.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48877.89868287
If we take 6909 away from 7640, we end up with 731.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7310, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 48877.89868287 with a balance of 7.31e-07.
