We're dividing 48141431 by 257 
We're looking to find how many times 257 goes into 48141431.

Advancing to step 1:
257 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 257

Moving on to step 2:
48 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 481 / 257

Going ahead to step 3:
257 goes into 481 1 times with a remainder of 224.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 257 from 481 and we're left with 224.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 224, then repeat: 2244 / 257

Step 4:
257 goes into 2244 8 times with a remainder of 188.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 188 after subtracting 2056 from 2244.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 188 and continue: 1881 / 257

On to step 5:
If we divide 1881 by 257, we get 7 and a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 187.0
If we take 1799 away from 1881, we end up with 82.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 824 / 257

Step 6:
The number 257 fits into 824 3 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1873.0
Subtract 771 from 824 to get 53.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 533 / 257

Going ahead to step 7:
533 divided by 257 is 2 with a remainder of 19.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18732.0
If we take 514 away from 533, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 191 / 257

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 191 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 191.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187320.0
Subtract 0 from 191 to get 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1910, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 257 fits into 1910 7 times, leaving a remainder of 111.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187320.7
Deduct 1799 from 1910 and we're left with 111.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1110, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
257 goes into 1110 4 times with a remainder of 82.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 187320.74
If we take 1028 away from 1110, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Step 11:
257 can be fit into 820 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 187320.743
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 771 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
490 divided by 257 is 1 with a remainder of 233.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 187320.7431
Subtract 257 from 490 to get 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Step 13:
257 goes into 2330 9 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187320.74319
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 2313 from 2330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 170 by 257, we get 0 and a remainder of 170.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 187320.74319
If we subtract 0 from 170, we get 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
257 can be fit into 1700 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 158.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 187320.7431906
If we subtract 1542 from 1700, we get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
257 can be fit into 1580 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 187320.74319066
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 1542 from 1580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final result is 187320.74319066 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
