Let's divide 72242 by 48
We want to divide 72242 by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 48

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 48 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 240 from 242 to get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 48

On to step 4:
48 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 150.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 242 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1505.0
Subtracting 240 from 242 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1505.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1505.04
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 192 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1505.041
Deduct 48 from 80 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1505.0416
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1505.04166
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1505.04166, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
