252787 ÷ 48 
We want to divide 252787 by 48.

On to step 1:
48 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 48

On to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 252 / 48

Step 3:
48 can be fit into 252 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 240 from 252, we get 12.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 48

On to step 4:
48 goes into 127 2 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtracting 96 from 127 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 318 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 can be fit into 318 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 526.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 288 from 318.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
48 goes into 307 6 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5266.0
Subtract 288 from 307 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
48 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5266.3
If we take 144 away from 190, we end up 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:
48 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5266.39
Deduct 432 from 460 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.

Advancing to step 9:
48 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5266.395
Subtracting 240 from 280 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5266.3958
If we take 384 away from 400, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5266.39583
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5266.395833
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 5266.395833 and a remainder of 1.6e-06.
