We divide 124438 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 124438 can be divided by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 48

Step 2:
48 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 48

Step 3:
The number 48 fits into 124 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 96 from 124.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
48 can be fit into 284 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 240 from 284 to get 44.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 443 / 48

Step 5:
443 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259.0
Deduct 432 from 443 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
118 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2592.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 96 from 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
220 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2592.4
Deduct 192 from 220 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2592.45
Deduct 240 from 280 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2592.458
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 384 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2592.4583
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 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:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2592.45833
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 2592.45833 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
