We look at the division of 727959 by 48 
We want to divide 727959 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 72, we get 24.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 247 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
48 goes into 247 5 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 240 from 247 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 79 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 151.0
Subtract 48 from 79 to get 31.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 315 / 48

On to step 5:
315 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1516.0
Subtract 288 from 315 to get 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 can be fit into 279 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15165.0
Deduct 240 from 279 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
48 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15165.8
Deduct 384 from 390 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15165.81
Subtracting 48 from 60 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
48 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15165.812
Subtracting 96 from 120 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15165.8125
If we subtract 240 from 240, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
48 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15165.8125
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15165.8125
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15165.8125 with a remaining 0.0.
