82988659 ÷ 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 82988659.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 goes into 8 0 times 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.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 82 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 can be fit into 82 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 82 and we're left with 34.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 349 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 349 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 336 from 349, we get 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 138 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 172.0
Deduct 96 from 138 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 428 / 48

Step 5:
When dividing 428 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1728.0
If we subtract 384 from 428, we get 44.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 446 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
48 can be fit into 446 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17289.0
Deduct 432 from 446 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 145 / 48

Going ahead to step 7:
48 goes into 145 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 172893.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 144 from 145.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 48

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 19 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1728930.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 190 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1728930.3
If we subtract 144 from 190, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
48 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1728930.39
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
280 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1728930.395
Subtracting 240 from 280 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1728930.3958
Deduct 384 from 400 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1728930.39583
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1728930.395833
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 1728930.395833 with a remainder of 1.6e-06.
