1. There are a total of $$48$$ oranges in the box.
2. Out of these, $$8$$ oranges are bad.
3. The number of not bad oranges is $$48 - 8 = 40$$.
4. The probability that a randomly drawn orange is not bad is given by:
   
   $$
   \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of not bad oranges}}{\text{Total number of oranges}} = \frac{40}{48}
   $$
   
5. Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is $$8$$:

$$
   \frac{40 \div 8}{48 \div 8} = \frac{5}{6}
   $$

The final answer is: $$\frac{5}{6}$$.
The probability that a randomly drawn orange is not bad is $$\frac{5}{6}$$.
