256509 divided by 48 
We want to divide 256509 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 256 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 256 5 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 240 away from 256, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 165 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 165 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Deduct 144 from 165 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 210 / 48

Step 5:
When dividing 210 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 534.0
Deduct 192 from 210 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 48

On to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 189 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5343.0
Subtracting 144 from 189 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 450 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5343.9
If we take 432 away from 450, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
48 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5343.93
Deduct 144 from 180 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 9:
360 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5343.937
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5343.9375
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5343.9375
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5343.9375
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 5343.9375 with a remaining 0.0.
