38479 divided by 48 
We want to divide 38479 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 384 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
384 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 384 away from 384, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
7 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 80.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 can be fit into 79 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 801.0
If we subtract 48 from 79, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
48 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 801.6
If we take 288 away from 310, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 801.64
Subtracting 192 from 220 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
48 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 801.645
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.

On to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 801.6458
Subtract 384 from 400 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.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 801.64583
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 801.645833
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.

The final result is 801.645833 with a remainder of 1.6e-06.
