859543 divided by 48 
We want to divide 859543 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 48

On to step 2:
48 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 85, we end up with 37.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 379 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 379 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 336 from 379, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 435 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
48 can be fit into 435 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we take 432 away from 435, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 48

On to step 5:
When dividing 34 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1790.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 343 / 48

On to step 6:
48 goes into 343 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17907.0
Subtract 336 from 343 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
70 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17907.1
If we subtract 48 from 70, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
220 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17907.14
Subtract 192 from 220 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 280 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17907.145
If we take 240 away from 280, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17907.1458
Subtracting 384 from 400 leaves us 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 11:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17907.14583
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17907.145833
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.

Our division results in 17907.145833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
