981968 ÷ 48 
Our goal is to divide 981968 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 48

Step 2:
98 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 96 from 98 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 21 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 219 / 48

On to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 219 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 192 from 219.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 276 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 276 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 36.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2045.0
If we take 240 away from 276, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 368 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 368 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20457.0
If we take 336 away from 368, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20457.6
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20457.66
If we subtract 288 from 320, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 20457.66, and the remainder is 0.032.
