54494 divided by 48 
Our goal is to divide 54494 by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
48 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 48

Step 2:
When dividing 54 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 48 from 54.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
48 can be fit into 64 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 48 from 64 to get 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
48 goes into 169 3 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
Deduct 144 from 169 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 254 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1135.0
If we take 240 away from 254, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1135.2
If we subtract 96 from 140, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1135.29
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1135.291
If we subtract 48 from 80, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1135.2916
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
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:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1135.29166
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.

After the division, we end up with 1135.29166 and a remainder of 3.2e-05.
