984489 divided by 48 
We want to divide 984489 by 48.

On to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 96 away from 98, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
24 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 244 / 48

Step 4:
If we divide 244 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 205.0
Deduct 240 from 244 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2051.0
If we subtract 48 from 48, we get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 9 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20510.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20510.1
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 48 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
48 can be fit into 420 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20510.18
Subtract 384 from 420 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20510.187
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20510.1875
If we subtract 240 from 240, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20510.1875
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20510.1875
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20510.1875 and a remainder of 0.0.
