We look at the division of 542875 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 542875 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
48 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 54 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 62 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 48 away from 62, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 148 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtract 144 from 148 to get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 48

On to step 5:
48 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1130.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 475 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
48 can be fit into 475 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11309.0
Subtract 432 from 475 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11309.8
Deduct 384 from 430 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 460 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11309.89
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
280 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11309.895
Subtract 240 from 280 to get 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 10:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11309.8958
If we subtract 384 from 400, we 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11309.89583
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11309.895833
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.

Our division results in 11309.895833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
