48986285 divided by 986 
Our goal is to divide 48986285 by 986.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 986, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 986

On to step 2:
The number 986 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 489 / 986

On to step 3:
489 divided by 986 is 0 with a remainder of 489.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 489 and we're left with 489.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 489, then carry on: 4898 / 986

Advancing to step 4:
986 goes into 4898 4 times with a remainder of 954.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 954 after subtracting 3944 from 4898.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 954 and repeat the process: 9546 / 986

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 9546 by 986, we get 9 with a remainder of 672.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 672 after subtracting 8874 from 9546.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 672, then repeat: 6722 / 986

On to step 6:
6722 divided by 986 is 6 with a remainder of 806.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 496.0
If we take 5916 away from 6722, we end up with 806.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 806, then repeat: 8068 / 986

Let's proceed to step 7:
986 goes into 8068 8 times with a remainder of 180.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4968.0
If we subtract 7888 from 8068, we get 180.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 180 and repeat the process: 1805 / 986

Let's proceed to step 8:
986 goes into 1805 1 times with a remainder of 819.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49681.0
Deduct 986 from 1805 and we're left with 819.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
8190 divided by 986 is 8 with a remainder of 302.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 49681.8
Subtracting 7888 from 8190 leaves us with 302.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
986 can be fit into 3020 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 49681.83
If we subtract 2958 from 3020, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 11:
986 can be fit into 620 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 620.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49681.83
The remainder is 620 after subtracting 0 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 6200 by 986, we get 6 and a remainder of 284.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 49681.8306
The remainder is 284 after subtracting 5916 from 6200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 2840 by 986, we get 2 with a remainder of 868.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 49681.83062
If we subtract 1972 from 2840, we get 868.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
986 can be fit into 8680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 792.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49681.830628
If we subtract 7888 from 8680, we get 792.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 7920 by 986, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49681.8306288
Subtract 7888 from 7920 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 49681.8306288 with a balance of 3.2e-07.
